Series: A Follet Valley Mystery

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 Valerie, 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!

ADAM KAY 'Ian is one of my favourite writers; this is hilarious and a great mystery too' JANEY GODLEY 'Good food and a laugh-out-loud mystery. What more could anyone want in these dark times' MARK BILLINGHAM 'Like going on a joyous romp through the Loire valley with Agatha Christie, PG Woodhouse and Mc Beaton. A delight.' C. K.

Very funny indeed. I can’t imagine how one plots something like that. Tremendous work' MILES JUPP 'I'm so punchdrunk from the sheer entertainment of it I've got a sore jaw. Encore!'
