Murder in the Villa - The Maggie Newberry Mysteries, #45

It was a dark and spooky Halloween night in Provence... Maggie and Laurent embark on a chilling adventure when their car breaks down on their way to a village Halloween party. Dressed as French Resistance Fighters, the pair take refuge from the coming storm in an old villa set far back from the road where they meet an old woman who thinks the war is still going on. Believing them to be fellow Resistance fighters like herself, Valène Lavallière reveals her tragic story of forbidden love and a heart-stopping secret from nearly eighty ago.
As the storm builds outside, Maggie and Laurent soon realize that not everything they are seeing is the truth and the secrets that the old woman harbors could very well make the morning after this Halloween night one they never live to see.
