The Shady Chateau: a Provence Cozy Mystery

Beware, dressing up as Napoleon can get you killed! Pillar of the local community Baron Gustave Cordes d’Auzon is holding a Napoleonic re-enactment at his chateau. The event includes theatricals, war games, and costume balls. That’s more than enough to entertain baker Julie Cavallo — and to distract her from pining for a tall, dark, and unsociable captain of the gendarmerie. Unlike said captain, the guests at the chateau love conversing. Some are so flamboyant they outshine even Julie’s badass grandma Rose! It’s all fun and cosplay… until the baron turns up dead. Three unlikely culprits plead guilty. Each gives the gendarmes a different motive. Each insists they did it alone. Who’s lying? And why? And who really killed the baron? If you’re a fan of Murder on the Orient Express and country house mysteries, then this book is for you!
