A cosy festive mystery with a dreamy romance at its centre, told in a perfectly paced, bestselling advent calendar format.

When Suzanne Sécretant arrives in Paris for her apprenticeship at the prestigious Rivoli bakery, nothing goes according to plan. First she gets stuck rolling croissants instead of learning from the whimsical genius head pastry chef. Then, she witnesses an actual murder. This was definitely not how she had intended to spend her Christmas holidays.

But after meeting the charming Léo and mysterious Sofiane, and armed with the victim's last words, Suzanne realises she might hold the key to solving this case. And maybe she could even find a little love along the way.

Keep the anticipation building by reading one of the twenty-four sealed chapters each day in the lead up to Christmas!

The volume is a comprehensive study of the sociolinguistic dynamics that have governed the Greek-Romance contact in southernmost Italy. This study cross-checks the areal distribution of five Greek-style syntactic features that penetrated Romance with the historical documentation from past centuries. It demonstrates that, in Bovesìa, the area where Greek still survives, the Greek-Romance contact occurred very recently, unlike the rest of Calabria. With the support of historical documentation, the study also identifies the figures responsible for the innovation that introduced Romance into Bovesìa and the first adopters who contributed to its spread within a tight-knit social network.
