Apart from that, there is also romance, some literature, art and philosophy - some very interesting stuff that sometimes I would put the book down and start looking up some of the stuff she talks about in the book.

Longworth has written for The Washington Post, The Times (London), The Independent, and Bon Appétit magazine. De weg daarnaartoe leidt je door verschillende landen en plaatsen, langs kunst en vervalsingen, geheimen, achterliggende motieven en de lastig doordringbare academische wereld. The differences in the Catholic Church in France were also explored (or exploded) as part of the plot.In 2021, it was announced that BritBox planned to adapt Longworth’s novels into a series titled Murder In Provence. Once again, I was completely delighted by the characters and the setting without even really caring about the mystery.

With Marine's help - and that of her plucky mother - Verlaque uncovers a world that proves more complicated than university politics. The series debuted in March 2022 with co-stars Endeavour actor Roger Allam in the lead role of Antoine Verlaque, alongside Nancy Carroll ( The Crown) as his romantic partner Marine Bonnet.His position included deluxe rent-free housing in the best part of Aix-en-Provence in addition to other benefits. I enjoy college settings for murder mysteries and this has the added bonus of wrong doers and victims being part of the Theology Department at Universite' d'Aix. Longworth evokes the pleasures of France in delicious detail—great wine, delicious meals, and fine company. Het verhaal begint heel “Cosy”, zoals ik al aangaf, maar als de professor dood wordt aangetroffen in zijn kantoor, neemt de spanning direct toe.
