Boston girl Molly Sutton moves to a small village in France to lick her wounds after a divorce. Castillac is charming, the croissants amazing, the wine delectable. Molly's new life is full of contentment, if a bit short on excitement. But then a girl goes missing...

Molly stumbles on another dead body, our amateur detective wastes no time before eavesdropping and butting into conversations all over town, gathering as much information....

Looking for clues and uncovering secrets is a risky business, and this time, Molly ends up with her own life in danger....

It has been seven years, after all. Seven years since the popular, mischievous Valerie Boutillier disappeared without a trace....

When another native of the French village is found dead, Molly and the gendarmes are stumped....

Molly Sutton's bed and breakfast is jam-packed for Valentine's Day, but whatever romance is in the air is quickly snuffed out when somebody turns up dead....

Castillac appears calm, even serene. But a dark corruption is spreading underneath the surface. And Molly Sutton, the best detective in town, has her eye off the ball as she juggles her gîte business along with planning her best friend’s wedding....

Simon Valette, a cultured and successful Parisian, moves his family to Castillac looking for peace and quiet. But before they've had a chance to settle in, someone is found murdered in the library. Molly and Ben work double-time to disentangle all the lies....

Another jewel, another death... It seems like Castillac just can't catch a break. All the villagers desire is peace and quiet, but what they get in January 2009 is global financial upset and yet another murder.

One by one, the deaths pile up in the village of Castillac. Seven deaths in a matter of weeks. Seven. The villagers are--understandably--worried. Then anxious. Finally, scared out of their wits.
