A book for Provence lovers

A fodorite's husband has written a mystery in Provence.
"A Chareau in Provence" By Charles Wood.
I met Chatles and Kathy several years ago
at a GTG in La Coste.

I ordered the book, not having a kindle
but the book is only $7.95
Another fodorite Stu Tower has another book soon to be out
if it isn't already.

It's in my shopping cart on Amazon. Sounds good.

Thanks, MImi; sounds good but I wonder why there aren't any reviews on Amazon? I will try it!

And speaking of mysteries about Provence, I read The Lantern by Deborah Lawrenson, after I read a review in the WSJ this summer, and it was a real disappointment. Started off well, but deteriorated. Anyone else read it?

Hi Ira: You don't need to buy a Kindle... if you can install the free application from Amazon "Kindle for PC" or "Kindle for Mac" on your computer (check required operating systems first) you can then purchase ebooks from Amazon and read them on your computer.

Or, ask Santa for a Kindle for the holidays.

One of my favorite books that takes place in Provence.
THE FLY-TRUFFLER by the late Gustaf Sobin, a renown poet
from Boston but lived 35 years in Provence. It's not a happy tale. There is no travelogue, no Peter Mayle cuteness.
This small book haunted me days after.

Chigalechanta, aren’t Charles and Cathy Wood the couple who sponsor THE LUBERON EXPERIENCE? I believe they offer these stays in Provence several times a year.

I have often perused their website. Are you familiar with the program? Sounds excellent…

Hi All,

Pour yourself a glass of Tavel Rosé, add a dash of local color, a <i>frisson</i> of skullduggery, sit back and enjoy.
