OverviewEnthralling cosy mystery set in France, by leading TV/radio comedian perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Julia Chapman, or MC Beaton. Richard is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a B&B in the fictional Vallée de Folle in the Loire Valley. Nothing ever happens to Richard, and really that's the way he likes it. Until scandal erupts in the nearby town of Saint-Sauver, when its famous restaurant is downgraded from three 'Michelin' stars to two. The restaurant is shamed, the local cheese producers are shamed, the town is shamed and the leading goat's cheese supplier drowns himself in one of his own pasteurisation tanks. Or does he? Valérie d'Orçay, staying once again at Richard Ainsworth's B&B while house-hunting in the area, isn't convinced that it's suicide. Despite his misgivings, Richard is drawn into Valérie's investigation, and finds himself becoming a major player himself. AUTHOR: Ian Moore is a leading stand-up comedian, known for his sharp, entertaining punditry, who regularly headlines at London's world-famous Comedy Store. A TV/radio regular, he stars in Dave's satirical TV show Unspun and Channel 5's topical comedy Big Mouths. Ian lives in rural France and commutes back to the UK every week. In his spare time, he makes mean chutneys and jams.
