About the Author:
From Booklist:
Pierre Magnan is an award-winning French crime writer who publishes his novels to rave international reviews. The Messengers of Death is his second mystery in the Commissaire Laviolette series; his classic crime novel, The Murdered House, was published byMinotaur Books.
The second Commissaire Laviolette mystery (Death in the Truffle Wood, 2007) opens in the Provence village of Banon with the death of a local woman shortly after she receives a mysterious letter. Laviolette, now happily retired and ruled by his large band of cats, is only reluctantly drawn in to investigate after being repeatedly pestered by his friend, Judge Chabrand. Mademoiselle Veronique’s death is not the first; it seems all her female relations are being targeted, and Laviolette is convinced that the answer lies in the family’s tumultuous past. The story unfolds slowly, wrapped in the rich atmosphere of 1960s Provence. The landscape, with its distinctive scenery and way of life, becomes as much of a character as Laviolette. Best-sellers in France, these delightful, old-fashioned mysteries will appeal to readers who prefer their crime fiction with a strong sense of place and a heavy dose of local atmosphere. The Provence setting will draw in Peter Mayle fans, even if they are not regular mystery readers. --Jessica Moyer
