The formula in his first novel worked, but after reading several of them, there are elements that become repetitive and tiresome. I get the sense of someone who is going back to the well one or two times too often. There are nice bits of humor here and there, there are flirtatious elements with lots left to the imagination, and other things to like, but this book just didn't make me laugh as much as others, and I didn't find the characters as engaging. I will resell it to my local bookstore and move on. I have several hundred books in my library. This one is not a keeper. Sorry, Peter. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not his best work *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2012* I usually enjoy Peter Mayles books from the South of France, but I found this one a bit trite. It is just a bit too much at times. The word "delight" and "delightful" is used too often, the Southern European men are a bit too sugary, the ladies a bit too "French," the whole thing reads almost like a caricature of the real thing. Perhaps the problem is that Mayle himself has got too rich and famous, too far removed from how most people live in that part of the world. Parts of the story also seem a bit unbelievable. One example: Why does the Bad Guy's financial survival hinge on getting the go-ahead for a huge real estate project? Such projects are inherently very risky and require even more debt to complete - quite the opposite of what most banks would want when one of their borrowers is already overly leveraged. And why would the protagonist be picked to market a real estate project on the other side of the world?!? The only obvious answers to these questions is that these conditions are introduced purely for literary purposes. No. Mayle would be better off returning to his roots and writing about regular life in the South of France, about events that actually happen or at least likely could happen. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice vacation reading *by G***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2013* Peter Mayles's "Caper" series are always pleasant reads. I have read three of them so far, and I will probably buy the next one as well. You can count on a clear set of characters who react the way you would expect them to act. Mayle keeps the dialogue squeaky clean, and there are many readers who will appreciate that about his style. He is a very good writer and his use of language is excellent. Personally, I think he excelled in "A Year in Provence" and its sequel, and is coasting just a bit now. "The Marseille Caper" is a follow-on to "The Vintage Caper", and many of the same characters tag along for this ride. The story is set in the South of France, an area many readers have learned to love as Mayle obviously does. The story moves along, and fast readers are likely to gobble up this book in one bite. The plot is fairly linear, so if you're a reader that loves a good 'twist', this book may leave you wanting more. This is the main reason I only gave it 3-stars. Otherwise, a thoroughly enjoyable book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16254016-the-marseille-caper-sam-levitt-capers-book-2](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16254016-the-marseille-caper-sam-levitt-capers-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
