M. L. Longworth
On-again couple Antoine Verlaque and Marine Bonnet are hoping for a relaxing holiday at the Locanda Sordou, but someone has other plans.
Hoteliers Maxime and Catherine Le Bon have spent their life savings restoring the hotel, which lies in an archipelago of sun-soaked islands off the coast of Marseille. To celebrate the grand opening, a group of privileged guests joins Verlaque and Bonnet: Marine's free-spirited best friend; an aging film star, his much-younger wife, and her disgruntled son; a pair of affable American tourists; and a querelous Parisian couple. But the murder of one of the guests casts a shadow over everyone's vacation, and things go from bad to worse when a violent storm cuts off all communication with the mainland. Will the killer strike again?
Like Donna Leon and Andrea Camilleri, M. L. Longworth enchants mystery lovers with a taste for good food and gorgeous landscapes in this installment of her acclaimed mystery series.

The mystery part of the book doesn't really start until you're fully halfway through.
There are long biographical chapters on many of the main suspects, most of which are totally extraneous to the story.
There are long descriptive passages about natural surroundings and meals which are totally extraneous to the story.
There is a sex scene which is totally extraneous to the story, as if the author was throwing a bone (if you'll pardon the term) to the bodice-ripper demographic.
Don't get me wrong; Included to an appropriate degree, I totally appreciate any and all of the background info required to paint a picture of a good mystery. Inspector Montalbano's Sicilian seafood meals in Andrea Camilleri's books, Tony Hillerman's descriptions of the American southwest, Arthur Upfield's Outback...those are all wonderful additions to the interesting characters and plots that these authors create, but Ms. Longworth's book far exceeds judiciousness in this regard. Sometimes, less IS actually more.
So it comes to this: If you enjoy books about travel and good cuisine, with a little sex thrown in on the side, you may enjoy this book, but know that, for the first half of the book, that's about all you're getting. And, once the mystery part begins, it's a pretty good mystery with good characterizations. It saddens me, but, as much as I love Verlaque and Bonnet, I'm afraid I won't put myself through another of this series. I ended listening at 1.7x normal speed in order to get through it. I guess I'll just hope for future TV episodes, and seek my enjoyable mysteries with likable protagonists elsewhere.
Know what you're getting into...
