Publisher's Summary
A young woman is found murdered…and the clues to her death point to her spurned lover, Paul Cézanne
In this richly atmospheric novel, a mysterious young woman named Solange Vernet arrives in Aix-en-Provence with her lover, a Darwinian scholar named Charles Westbury, and a year later is found strangled in a quarry outside the city. The young and inexperienced magistrate, Bernard Martin, finds his investigation caught in the crossfires of a raging cultural debate.
Initially assuming that Solange’s murder was a simple crime de passion by either a jealous Cézanne or a betrayed Westbury, Bernard soon finds himself on a mission to unravel the secrets of Solange and Cézanne’s hidden past - the key to which may be a series of his paintings which depict the strangulation and violation of a woman with golden-red hair.
Exploring the questions of science and religion - and the role of women in these realms - that persist even today, Cézanne’s Quarry is an impressive debut mystery about life, death, love, and art.

Weak Story, Awful reader
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I can't imagine.
What could Barbara Pope have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
A less predictable plot. Fewer Americanisms in the mouth of 19th century French people.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
No pizzazz to his reading. And I have a better French accent than he does. He sounds like a Caricature of an American pronouncing French.
