Chasing Cezanne
Author: Peter Mayle
Hanky-panky on the international art scene is the source of the hilarity and fizz in Peter Mayle's new novel. He flies us back to the south of France (a region some readers of his irresistible best-sellers believe him to have invented), on a wild chase through galleries, homes of prominent collectors, and wickedly delectable restaurants.

If you have enjoyed Peter Mayle "A Year in Provence" you will love the details of this high stakes art heist. This is a great read, light fun, great details, good food and a fun story line. It will make you want to check out his other novels.

A fun read. Adventure, mystery, romance. Not too complicated, but just enough intrigue to keep you interested. Fast moving and well written.

Pleasant, easy reading, in the best possible sense (well-written, but in a non-show-off-y way). I love Peter Mayle's books and this is a good one.

I love the way Peter Mayle uses words. "He passed the seething racket of Forty-second Street and the New York lions, massive and benign in the sunshine, looking as dignified as lions can look with garlands of pigeons clustered on their heads." Perfect word pictures!

If you have not yet read anything by Pete Mayle, you need to. Although best known for his book "A Year in Provence," he has also read several pure-fiction little pleasures. My wife and I have devoured all, including the four caper series books and three stand-alones, including "Chasing Cézanne". If you are seeking a well-crafted, easy to read, and entertaining light reading romp, read Peter Mayle. Spoiler alert: Mayle is devoid of obscenities and steamy sex scenes, so if that is what you are seeking, seek elsewhere. For a good plot, intelligent writing, read Mayle. After that paean, "Chasing Cézanne" is a bit more of a thriller than Mayle's other books. A professional photographer passes by a mansion on the Riviera which he has photo'd for a house beautiful magazine and notices a Cézanne being carried out and loaded into a plumber's van. He captures the moment with his camera and sets off to find out why. The result is a bi-continental tale between New York, Paris, and Provence. Midst all the action, the characters take time enjoy sumptuous meals of French cuisine and fine wines. Trust me..you cannot go wrong with Maye.
