Madam, Will You Talk?
by Mary Stewart
Madam, Will You Talk? drops Charity Selborne, a sensible Englishwoman on holiday, into the heart of a French mystery.

You’ll follow Charity as she navigates a world of secrets, suspicion, and veiled threats, never quite knowing who to trust. It’s a wonderfully paced story that balances the sun-drenched beauty of the setting with a palpable sense of unease. Stewart excels at making you feel Charity’s courage and vulnerability as she digs deeper, all while a powerful, complicated romance simmers beneath the surface.
