I'm currently reading LOVE & DEATH IN BURGUNDY by Susan C. Shea. This book is the first book in a debut mystery series which was released last month.
Katherine Goff and her husband, Michael, having been living in the small French village of Reigny-sur-Canne for three years, yet they are still struggling for acceptance. Befriending both new foreign neighbors as well as long time residents can be tricky, especially as emotions and long held resentments run high. When an elderly and prominent neighbor calls in a state of shock saying her husband has died after falling down the stairs, Katherine rushes to her assistance. Did she misunderstand the woman's hurried French? Did she actually say murder? Surely, the man fell down the steep medieval staircase accidentally. Didn't he? A desire to fit in and unadulterated curiosity combine to prompt Katherine to look closer into the matter. Will she discover the truth of his death, or more secrets than she's able to handle?

Love & Death in Burgundy - Spotlight
Today I'd like to shine a light on a recent release. Love & Death in Burgundy by Susan C. Shea is the first book in a debut mystery series which was released last month.
From the book jacket:
After three years of living in the small town of Reigny-sur-Canne, all Katherine Goff really wants is to be accepted by her neighbors in their little community. But as an American expat living in the proud region of Burgundy, that's no easy task.
When the elderly Frenchman who lives in the village chateau is found dead at the bottom of a staircase, the town is turned into a hotbed of gossip and suspicion, and Katherine suddenly finds herself drawn deeper and deeper into the town's secrets. A motherless teenager, a malicious French widow, a brash music producer, and a would-be Agatha Christie are among those caught up in a storm that threatens to turn Katherine's quiet life upside down.
As more and more of the villagers' secrets are brought to light, Katherine must try to figure out who, if anyone, in the town she can trust, and which one of her neighbors just might be a killer.
