Book excerpt: "Cross-pollinates Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief with Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence."—The Washington Post Book World on Deadly Slipper Winter in the Dordogne: delicious food, ruggedly beautiful scenery, unscrupulous orchid hunters, illegal drugs, a poetic house-breaker, and three mysterious deaths and counting . . . In this electrifying third installment of the highly acclaimed Death in the Dordogne series, expat Montrealer Mara Dunn and Brit Julian Wood are living together in an uneasy, on-and-off way. When bad things start to happen to their friends—first Amelie Gaillard falls mysteriously to her death, then a local Turkish couple’s son disappears—each has a very different way of helping out. So different that each begins to wonder if they are really meant to be together. But when Julian, with his unerring understanding of the orchid lover’s mind, thinks he has found the link between the local spike in drug traffic and murder, one of them might lose the other—permanently.
