Murder in the South of France by Susan Kiernan-Lewis

This is the first in the Maggie Newberry mysteries and I am looking forward to reading more in this series.  Maggie travels to the South of France in search of her sister's killer and her niece.  Along the way she meets Laurant is he there to aid or confuse her?  Is the woman she identified really her sister or is it one big con?  You'll have to read it to find out.  253 pages Nook HD version.
