I love these novellas as simple breaks from my usual reading.

Laurent Bourdain, a mayor of a French village has been invited to Cherringham in the hopes of joining the two villages into a “twinning” or sister city arrangement. With a party planned at Lady Repton’s home, which her son has hopes of turning into a conference center, things are well underway with all sorts of debauchery when the mayor disappears and is later found dead in a nearby lake. From the onset, it appears to be an accident. That is until American ex-police officer Jack and English web designer Sarah start aligning the facts and come up with something much different than an accident.

The Cherringham series is made up of quick reads or listens, depending on your preference, and ties up the not-so-obvious with a familiar twist at the end.
