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?
Breezy, charming, and perfectly escapist, The Vanishing Museum on the Rue Mistral brings us back to the heart of sun- and wine-soaked Aix-en-Provence, where murder investigations are always put on hold for lunch and the only thing more sweeping than the story is the Mediterranean coastline.

DEDICATED FAN BASE: Sales of the previous two books in the series have been perfectly steady, demonstrating that the author has a core readership who love reading about Verlaque and Bonnet's adventures.
PERFECT FOR THE ARMCHAIR TRAVELER: Come for the mystery, stay for the lush descriptions of three-course meals, fine wine, and beautiful Provence scenery.
BROAD APPEAL: Not quite a cozy but not too hardboiled, the dual pleasures of an engaging mystery and fantastic atmosphere appeal to a broad range of mystery readers.
NEW PACKAGING DIRECTION: We gave the series a new cover look for the last two books with bright, colorful artwork that evokes the gorgeous landscapes of Provence, and got a fantastic reader response. The first book, Death at the Chateau Bremont, was also given a new package, and this book continues with this new direction.
AUTHOR HAS LIVED IN FRANCE FOR 20+ YEARS: Longworth has lived and worked in France for more than twenty years, and she makes Provence come alive on the page.
