Death and Boules

A Follet Valley Mystery, Book 5

De: Ian Moore

Narrado por: Ian Moore

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?

Another Great One from Moore

This book is a hilarious and intriguing mystery. Moore's narration is amazing as are the characters in the story. This one might be his best yet!

Fun mystery

I love all the twists and turns and lots of humor!! Very fun story and especially enjoyable being in France!

Wonderful

Greatly enjoyed! Fell in love with Richard and his friends all over again. Looking forward to the next book.

Fun series

I've enjoyed this series for the characters, the intriguing plot and well-written stories, the reminder of movies to see again, and of course, the mysteries and touch of romance.

The best.

Similars to a year in Provence but mystery. It’s charming. It’s easy. It’s like snacking on apero.

Best one yet!

The antics that Richard and Valerie get up to always make me laugh. This was Ian Moore’s best so far. I found myself laughing out loud numerous times. I love the way he blends the French and British lifestyles so effortlessly. I can’t wait for the next one!
