by Charlotte Carter

Read a review of Coq Au Vin: A Nanette Hayes Mystery in Mosaic Literary Magazine (spring 1999, page 48)

In the second installment of the Nanette Hayes Mystery series, Nan is on her way to Paris in search of a missing relative… but will she lose more than just her heart in the city of love?

Nanette’s life is finally getting back to normal when her mother calls her with some upsetting news: Nan’s beloved bohemian Aunt Vivian has gone missing. Normally this is par for the course with Viv, but this time the circumstances surrounding Vivian’s disappearance are rather troubling. Would Nan be up to brushing up on her French language skills and flying to Paris to track her down?

Would she ever. Now swanning about her favorite city, Nan has a hard time keeping her attention on the task at hand… especially after she meets handsome violinist Andre, a fellow street musician from Detroit. But trouble has a way of finding Nan, and her search for Vivian lands her in the underbelly of historic Paris and in the crosshairs of some of its most dangerous denizens.

Praise for the Nanette Hayes Mystery Series

“A terrific novel, from those witty, subversive opening sentences, to the edgy, melancholy and very satisfying ending.”—Margo Jefferson, the author of Negroland (on Rhode Island Red)
