Title: Cezanne's Quarry Author: Barbara Pope Narrator: David Drummond Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 02-25-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Historical Publisher's Summary: A young woman is found murderedand 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 Solanges 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 Cézannes 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, Cézannes Quarry is an impressive debut mystery about life, death, love, and art. Critic Reviews: Could Paul Cézanne be a killer? Pope animates her canvas with plenty of vivid period detail. Francophiles and history buffs will find much to savor. A provocative debut." (Publishers Weekly) Cézanne's Quarry is a highly accomplished, compelling novel. Beneath an exquisite veneer of historical detail lurks a thoughtful exploration of science and religion, of old values and new, and of a woman's place in the world." (Hallie Ephron, The Boston Globe)
