Sinopsis

A YOUNG WOMAN with a reddish face and horn-rimmed glasses appeared suddenly out of a door marked "Manager, Baston Aero Club".
"Well, young man, what do you want?" she asked sharply.
The middle-aged man in grey flannels who was standing in the club hall looked round to see who was being spoken to, and then perceptibly started when he realized that it was he who was being addressed.
"Are you the manager of the Baston Aero Club?" he asked.
"Manager and secretary. In fact, I run the place," she answered.
"I see." The speaker, though obviously not shy, had not quite recovered from the surprise of being addressed as "young man" by a woman some years his junior.
"The fact is, I want to learn to fly. That is," he added diffidently, "if I am not too old for that sort of thing." His diffidence contrasted with a certain deep richness of voice— the kind of voice which inevitably suggests public speaking.
The young woman beamed. "Don't you worry! We'll teach you if it kills us— or you." She rummaged over a table in the hall which was littered with papers and picked out a form.

    🍗 Leftover food blogger and meal prep expert Remy Nance is hosting a "Second Helpings" cooking competition when the contest's celebrity judge—a notoriously wasteful food personality—is found dead in the test kitchen, surrounded by suspiciously arranged Thanksgiving leftovers. The police suspect food poisoning, but Remy notices the leftovers have been deliberately temperature-abused and the victim's social media posts contain coded hashtags about food waste fraud. With her blog's reputation on the line and the sustainable food community in chaos, Remy must reheat this cold case to boiling point. Assisted by her foodie followers and the handsome food safety inspector analyzing bacterial growth, Remy uncovers a scheme involving food waste embezzlement, fake charity donations, and a plot to sabotage sustainable chefs. From suspicious mold patterns that reveal intentional spoilage to temperature logs that don't match safety standards, every reheated dish tells a story. But when Remy discovers the victim was systematically diverting donated food to landfill while claiming massive tax write-offs, she realizes the killer is protecting hunger relief efforts more nourishing than any five-star meal. With the competition finale approaching and the real food fraudster still cooking the books, Remy must plate up the evidence before her own career gets permanently shelved.

    Calamity befalls the little Vendome Theater in the tenth installment of the sun- and wine-soaked Provençal Mystery Series. 
     
     
     
    When Jean-Marc Sauvet, successful lawyer and the best friend of Aix-en-Provence's examining magistrate Antoine Verlaque, accepted a small role in a local theater's summer production of Marcel Pagnol's Cigalon, he had no idea that the lead actress would be played by the great Liliane Poncet. But Jean-Marc's excitement about rubbing elbows with one of France's legendary film stars is quickly extinguished. The lead actor, Gauthier Lesage, is rude and unenthusiastic, and nobody understands how he got the part. Chaos reigns backstage thanks to the absentminded theater director. And everyone seems to be harboring a secret. When one of the actors goes missing for good, it's up to the soon-to-be-a-father Verlaque and his police commissioner, Bruno Paulik, to untangle the threads of a mystery that seems to get more complicated every day . . .
