British divorcée Penelope buys her dream home - a crumbling, overgrown farmhouse in a Provence village off the tourist track. It even comes with renovation-ready courtyard and swimming pool. The summer weather is brilliant, the French food delectable, and the mayor just dreamy. But Penelope’s perfect life is short-circuited once the first body is discovered. The plot rambles on a bit, but the story is intriguing and the book serves as a wonderful armchair getaway to the beautiful (and delicious) French countryside.
