Summary

Richard is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a B&B in the fictional Val de Follet in the Loire Valley。 Nothing ever happens to Richard， and really that’s the way he likes it。

One day， however， one of his older guests disappears， leaving behind a bloody handprint on the wallpaper。 Another guest， the exotic Valérie， persuades a reluctant Richard to join her in investigating the disappearance。

Richard remains a dazed passenger in the case until things become really serious and someone murders Ava Gardner， one of his beloved hens 。。。 and you don’t mess with a fellow’s hens！

Unputdownable mystery set in rural France， by TV/radio regular and bestselling author Ian Moore – perfect for fans of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club， Julia Chapman， or M。C。 Beaton。

Okay， I loved this。 It's true that the mystery kind of takes a backseat to the comedy but when you have good enough comedy， I think it makes up for it。 Okay， I loved this。 It's true that the mystery kind of takes a backseat to the comedy but when you have good enough comedy， I think it makes up for it。 。。。more

This has some real comic genius moments。 Love the movie refences， the shuns to IMDB etc all very funny with some one liners right on cue。 The minor characters add real comic value and chaos to proceedings。Did find the sense of mystery a bit lacking sadly。 Some interesting moments， but definitely read this for the comic value rather than the need to resolve the situation。

Richard， a 50-something Englishman running a French B&B， has is quiet life interrupted when a bloody handprint is found at his hotel。 Throw in a glamorous and managing French woman， a couple of Italian honeymooners， a couple of swingers who run a rival rival B&B and a pair of elderly twins who hate each other （one of whom may or may not have gone missing）。 I enjoyed this gentle mystery， it’s well written with nice touches of humour。 It seems to be aimed at fans of The Thursday Murder Club and co Richard， a 50-something Englishman running a French B&B， has is quiet life interrupted when a bloody handprint is found at his hotel。 Throw in a glamorous and managing French woman， a couple of Italian honeymooners， a couple of swingers who run a rival rival B&B and a pair of elderly twins who hate each other （one of whom may or may not have gone missing）。 I enjoyed this gentle mystery， it’s well written with nice touches of humour。 It seems to be aimed at fans of The Thursday Murder Club and cosy Sunday night detective shows， which is no bad thing。 。。。more
