Deadly Delights

The Investigations of Prudence Poivert

Revenge is a dish best served cold !

After a divorce, at 48, Prudence Poivert inherits a superb country house in a small village near Bordeaux. Determined to enjoy her newfound freedom, she moves in... but life in the countryside is deadly boring! One day, feeling depressed, she decides to visit the picturesque sites in the area. Nothing exciting, until she stumbles upon the corpse of the odious village dentist! The man was poisoned with cannelés before being pushed into the water.

Prime suspect: Prudence's nephew, a young man she finds very "cretinous" but who was the last to see the victim alive. Prudence Poivert, who doesn't mince her words and is always getting herself into scrapes, takes charge. There's no question of letting one of her own down!

“It was love at first sight with Prudence Poivert! Reading her first investigation was a real breath of fresh air! A light, amusing read, yet full of suspense…”
