About this listen

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?

These stories come to life with Ian Moore's naration - he is so dry and deadpan that you can exactly imagine Richard - who would do anything for a quiet life but always ends up in the middle of all the action. Highly recommend the whole series of books if you enjoy easy reading cosy crime.

Cosy crime at it's best

Love these books! Funny , quirky and always a good plot. Another great story with an array of great characters. The only slight criticism I’d have is while it’s a stand alone these books are best read in order so you can keep track of all the characters

Another cracker
