Sheas ReignySurCannes" Catriona McPherson, awardwinning author on Dressed for Death in BurgundyAriel Shepard is devastated by the sudden loss of her husband, but nothing could have prepared her for inheriting the rundown French chteau theyd visited on their honeymoon four years ago.

When Ariel hires an expert to help her uncover the legacy of her beautiful ruin, life only becomes more complicated. Christiane, the historian, is found dead in the moat, and although the local police arent suspicious, Ariel is. She joins two other expats, Pippa and Katherine, to investigate, but with plenty of workmen and errant tools around the chteau, many people had the means, but who had the motive? Why would anyone want to kill a historian? Ariel begins to suspect that her French village life will be anything but peaceful! Can she solve the suspicious murder and make her chteau in Burgundy the perfect new home?
