The Penny Nichols series starts when its title character, an American actress with a stalled career, inherits property in the south of France from a great-aunt she never knew. What begins as a simple trip to check out the inheritance turns into a new life filled with old family secrets and unexpected romance.
Across four books published between 2007 and 2011, Penny navigates European high society, uncovers hidden family history, and falls for a charming Frenchman. The series has the warmth and low-stakes charm of the best cozy mysteries, with sun-drenched settings that make every book feel like a vacation.
