Publisher's summary

Something strange has happened at the unassuming Musee de Quentin-Savary in Aix-en-Provence. When the director, Monsieur Achille Formentin, walks in one beautiful April morning, he is shocked to find the whole museum emptied of its contents - only a bench, the reception desk, and a lowly fern remain.

Distressed, he calls the local police, and Aix's examining magistrate Antoine Verlaque sets out to discover the thief's identity. But it's the most baffling case Verlaque has ever encountered. Why would someone want to steal porcelain dessert plates, some old documents, and a few small paintings? Could this have something to do with the mysterious robbery of Madame de Montbarbon's apartment a few weeks earlier? And how can Verlaque possibly concentrate on the theft when he and his wife, Marine Bonnet, are going to have a baby?

Love it!

I love the story itself, and the great character developments as well as the plot developments. The narration was so expressive too.

Another Comfortable Entry In a Comfortable Series

I enjoy this series and liked this latest book. These are not deep, complex mysteries. They are primarily travelogues through the most beautiful parts of France and Italy, detailed discussions of amazing meals, and just enough mystery to qualify for the genre. The characters are interesting, seem terribly French to me and some of their discussions about history, food, and wine are fascinating. The addition of Marine's pregnancy and Antoine's fear of fatherhood add an interesting sideline. The narration is excellent. I would appreciate it if the author would do away with constantly mentioning "the bise" every time two characters meet. Either say it completely in English or completely in French or better yet, drop it entirely. Other than that, very good series. and the disappearing museum was unique.

Pleasant story, distracting narrator

These mysteries are enjoyable enough (though the early ones are better.). Narrator has appallingly bad pronunciation when she imitates French accents. It would be better not to try. We’re there no narrators available who can speak French? Sadly this same narrator does the whole series.
