Death in Provence

Fresh. Protagonist Penelope Kite gives herself a fresh start by moving to Provence in a novel by Serena Kent titled, Death in Provence. Her dreams face reality after she discovers a corpse floating in her swimming pool. Beware of starting this novel, since Kent starts a series with this book, and if you’re like me, you’re likely to want to read each successive installment. The characters are well-drawn, the mystery interesting, and the writing more than acceptable for this genre. Serena Kent is the penname of Deborah Lawrenson and her husband, Robert Rees. The pace of the narrative is relaxed, which seems to suit Penelope’s life in Provence and this reader’s attitude while reading this genre.
