The Orchid Shroud: A Novel of Death in the Dordogne by Michelle Wan is the sequel to a book I have in an earlier post - called Deadly Slipper. Again the characters have another death come their way. Mara is still trying to just finish her renovation project. Julian has not yet found his elusive orchid -what he is calling his Cypripedium incognitum.
I guess the thing I really love is the internationalism of the book. It is set in a small French village. It's lead characters are a Canadian and an expat Brit. The author is Chinese - but grew up in Canada and is married to an American who travels the world.
I hope she creates a series around these characters - she just brings their whole world to life. Again a great story about a place and it's mystery.
