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
