A Bouquet of Rue: A Maggie MacGowen Mystery

0/5 ( ratings)

Filmmaker Maggie MacGowen moves to France ready to settle into a new job with a French television network and a new life with diplomat Jean-Paul Bernard. Maggie soon discovers that under the peaceful veneer of the leafy Paris suburb where she now lives, there are deep and troubling fissures. At first she is an object of curiosity, the woman taking the place of Jean-Paul’s beloved, deceased wife. But as she is drawn into the search for a girl named Ophelia, and tries to stop the persecution of a Muslim immigrant boy, she is viewed by the town an interloper, the outsider. As Maggie tells an interviewer, sometimes an outsider can hold up a mirror that reveals what we have become blind to. But are her new neighbors willing to look into that mirror? She will learn that the human spirit has tremendous resilience—until it snaps.

“Hornsby’s winning 12th Maggie MacGowen mystery… is indeed filled with rue, along with love, hate, and loss. A solid plot, plenty of intrigue, and the always entertaining Maggie will please Hornsby fans and newcomers alike.”
