Another wonderfully witty slice of Gallic cosy crime, the fourth Follet Valley mystery finds B&B owner Richard Ainsworth investigating the suspicious death of an actor on a film set.
The third book in the bestselling murder mystery series, by leading TV/radio comedian Ian Moore! Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Julia Chapman, or MC Beaton.
Richard Ainsworth's French B&B has been taken over by a production company shooting a historical film at the Chateau de Valencay. But everything grinds to a halt with the sudden passing of an actor under suspicious circumstances.
To get to the bottom of things, Valerie Dorcay and Richard offer catering services to the hastily resumed production. There they discover that the vanity, duplicity and murder of an 18th century French court is nothing compared to that of a 21st century film set, with more heads yet to roll.
