In the south of France, where hatred simmers in the heat, a man seemingly admired, and certainly feared, drops dead at a dinner party. All of the guests fall under suspicion, including Welsh-Canadian professor Cait Morgan. A criminologist who specializes in profiling victims, Cait sets out to solve the murder - and clear her name. Add to this the disappearance of an ancient Celtic gold collar said to be cursed and there you have the ingredients for a Nicoise salad of death, secrets, and lies.

Will Cait find the killer before she too falls victim to a murderer driven by a surprising and disturbing motive?The Corpse with the Silver Tongue is the first in the Cait Morgan mystery series, a classic whodunit series featuring the eccentric Professor Cait Morgan.

Not For Me

This was an okay book with an interesting plot and characters. What annoyed me was the ending when the lead character and the chief of police went back and about who would wrap up the plot. You tell him, no you tell him. Really you want me to tell him? At that point I almost gave up on the book.

More fun than suspense

The wry self-deprecating tone reminds me of Abigail Raisin without the self-delusion. But the characters need dimension and the plot needs something of an undertow to drive the mystery. Kind of a yawner, not a bad choice if your attention needs to be divided.

.

The author struggles with the narration for the first few chapters, particularly with the Italian, Benny.
However she does start to get more confident and I did enjoy the story.
Stay with this one because the 2nd book is really good.

Dianne fro San Antonio, texas

After looking for days and days for something to really capture my interests with some different approach I really like the way her voice sounded -it fit with the mystery staged in Europe. I was taken by the first paragraph. And it is curious to me what other readers are looking for, I am so tired of trite romances and hallmark sounding mysteries. Maybe if that’s what you’re looking for okay I get it, if not maybe get out your pen and pencil and write your own book. I enjoyed the author and her descriptions of everything, I thought they were extremely done well-almost like I could see it and I liked her attention to detail —I’ve been kind of lost since to Grafton has died,Or maybe i like is the fact that the heroine is a little on the chubby side and that she is older.. I’m a Mentalist fan and her method was a correlation that I thought was fun and different.. I say.. enjoy

Delightful!

I read some criticism of the the author’s reading and was hesitant to listen to this book. I found the author absolutely delightful to listen to, and very much appreciated the author’s own voice, in every sense of that word. Fun story line, brilliant but self-deprecating hero, loved it all!

Complicated

Interesting character. Different from most investigators as she has a special gift of a photographic memory. She goes to Nice, France for a conference, but becomes involved in a poisoning murder she must unravel. AND she enjoys the food.
I’m looking forward to the next story.

Story stopped during chapter 15

Unable to hear the end of the story it stops abruptly during chapter 15 very frustrating to get so far into a story and not be able to finish it

Loved It

I think this was one of the first books I listened to, on Audible, during my trial period. It was excellent! I love the main character, Professor Cait Morgan. She is full of confidence, no matter what is said to her. She is intelligent and has a magnificent knack for solving crimes. It was a great listen. Hope you enjoy.
