I decided to read this as it's set in the South of France, near Toulouse, and I'm a sucker for pretty much anything French.
But this was disappointing, I have to admit. The writing style is inconsistent (probably intentionally but that doesn't make it any easier to read) and actually very dull. Nothing much seems to happen throughout it and just as finally it looks like there's about to be some resolutions, everything changes suddenly - the events aren't even described very well either.
Overall, I had high hopes for this but it was just flat the entire way through and didn't improve at all.
