A Noël Killing by ML Longworth

Rating: WARTY!

"As the south of France comes alive with holiday cheer, town magistrate Antoine Verlaque and his wife, Marine Bonnet...." Marine bonnet? Seriously? Why not just call her Pirate Hattie? "...find themselves investigating a man’s mysterious death." Why? Are there no police in the south of France, or are they all off for Christmas? "Can they catch the culprit before Christmas?" Why is Christmas the deadline? Does the culprit get off scot-free after Christmas Day? Yawn.
