From the best-selling author of Death and Croissants, a new murder mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Julia Chapman, or MC Beaton

Saint-Sauver, home to Richard Ainsworth and Valérie d’Orçay’s detective agency, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its town twinning with Anglethorp Spa in Lincolnshire. Events are planned, a huge brocante, street parties and the centrepiece, an exhibition boules tournament between the two towns and a team of international boules all-stars.

Everything is going well, the sun shines, the wine flows and the entente is very cordiale.

Until the mayor turns up dead in an antique dresser having apparently been killed twice. Inevitably Richard and Valérie have very different views on the subject and engage in their own battle, who will solve the crime first?

I had hoped for a charming, whimsical book about a crime in France but was left feeling “Meh!”

The book was pleasantly written but the English lacked elegance. The French accents of the narrator left far to be desired and I found the story itself, hard work to follow. I almost gave up listening a few times and wish I’d used my time better.

At best, pleasant.

Another thrilling thriller

It’s a wonderful story of Richard’s relationship with Valerie and great crime writing alongside development of the supporting characters…….lots of giggles and laugh out loud moments. Looking forward to the next instalment 😊

Funny and charming

I just love these books, made better when read by the author, of whom I have become a huge fan. Whether deliberate or not by the author, I believe Richard and Ian Moore may be the same person in some ways, which makes it funnier.

Funny & gripping
