The Mystery of the Lost Cezanne (A Provençal Mystery)

The Mystery of the Lost Cezanne (A Provençal Mystery)

The fifth entry in this acclaimed series finds Verlaque and Bonnet searching for a murdererâ€”in a crime tied to Provenceâ€™s greatest artist

The latest bookÂ in the Verlaque & Bonnet Mystery series,Â The Curse of La Fontaine, is available now from Penguin Books!

A friend in his cigar club asks Antoine Verlaque to visit RenÃ© Rouquet, a retired postal worker who has found a rolled-up canvas in his apartment. As the apartment once belonged to Paul CÃ©zanne, Rouquet is convinced heâ€™s discovered a treasure. But when Antoine arrives at the apartment, he finds RenÃ© dead, the canvas missing, and a mysterious art history professor standing over the body.

When the painting is finally recovered, the mystery only deepens. The brushwork and color all point to CÃ©zanne. But who is the smiling woman in the painting? She is definitely not the dour Madame CÃ©zanne. Who killed RenÃ©? Who stole the painting? And what will they do to get it back?

Like Donna Leon and Andrea Camilleri, M. L. Longworthâ€™s enchanting mysteries blend clever whodunits with gustatory delights and the timeless romance of Provence.Â The Mystery of the Lost CÃ©zanneÂ adds a new twist by immersing Antoine and Marine in a clever double narrative that costars Provenceâ€™s greatest artist.

â€œArt theft is a hot topic on the mystery scene, and no oneâ€™s heist is livelier than Longworthâ€™s.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews
