From bouillabaisse to betrayal…
…and the beautiful city that is home to both
When the dead body of one of Marseille’s most corrupt politicians is found stuffed in Maggie’s car trunk it creates a bubbling stew of deception, betrayal and revenge.
Is there a connection between the victim and Maggie? Her family? Or is this a message for Laurent as a result of his nefarious history of crime and misdeeds?
Even worse, a devastating family secret that Laurent and Maggie have spent the last twelve years hiding is shockingly revealed to the world, putting everything they have—as well as everyone they love—in immediate jeopardy.
This heart-stopping thrill-ride takes you through the menacing back streets of Marseille in Maggie’s determined trajectory toward the truth—and the truly evil—behind it.

Customer Reviews
Murder in Marseille
As much as I usually enjoy the adventures of Maggie and Laurent, I absolutely disliked the self-centered Maggie in this book. Her behavior is that of a selfish and foolish teenager instead of a mature caring mother and wife. She acts as if she’s smarter and knows better than everyone else. She needs to grow up.
Twisty!
If you like surprises you’re probably going to enjoy this book.
Maggie and Laurent are interesting people.
France is a nice place to get to know a little about. Add murder and detective work by a nosy woman and it really makes a story hard to put down.
