In the 4th Molly Sutton mystery, she's teamed up with former Gendarme Ben to find out who killed Iris, the most beautiful woman in the tiny village of Castillac. The investigation uncovers a tangled web of motive, not without raising a few eyebrows along the way. The author did a great job of capturing the tragedy of the case; almost a tale of lost love and dreams. It left me a little misty in some spots and was a good, solid read. I would've loved to have seen more of Iris before she died, so that's part of the tragedy right there. I also liked how solving the case came down to the tiny details noticed by Molly, it was a real Sherlock Holmes moment. And as always, the villagers lend a colorful background to add richness to the story, I love all of the going-on around the village, it makes me feel like I'm there.

While I first thought that the way Ben and Molly came together in the last book felt disingenuous to me, I now feel like their relationship is developing very realisticly. You know, how in any new relationship, you have that period of feeling each other out, finally seeing each other as they really are so yeah...I'd have to say that it's more true to life than the happily ever after I usually see in books.

I really enjoy this series and look forward to many more adventures in France, but I have to say that all the tasty pastries in this book tempt me into cheating on my diet. *sigh*
