Book excerpt: Murder, Voila! shows just how far Jules has come in the three years since the EMP stranded her in Provence. Limited electricity has come back to the area and phone lines are back up—at least for the sick and elderly. Jules continues to make her living as a private investigator although she still struggles with the language and life is full of rose wines, amazing food and the scent of lavender everywhere. On top of all that, she’s getting married! Just when life seems perfect with her pending nuptials to the Chabanel Chief of Police, his contentious mother comes to town to stop the wedding—and ends up dead. Will Luc be able to see past his mother’s murder and the fact that it appears as if one of Jules’ elderly roommates did the honors?
