A NEW CHRISTMAS SHORT STORY from the author of bestselling murder mystery Death & Croissants the most hilarious murder mystery since Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club

Richard Ainsworth is preparing for the Christmas of his dreams: quiet, no guests at his French B&B and his favourite films on the TV. None of which seems on the cards when his rural peace is shattered by the unexpected arrival of a familiar face.

Valérie d'Orçay has hotfooted it from Paris with her chihuahua in tow and an invitation to a Christmas themed murder mystery game. Richard begrudgingly dresses up as Father Christmas, but the costume becomes the least of his worries when he realises this isn't a game to everyone.

As other guests arrive to join the hunt, can Richard work out who is the victim and who is murderer?

Reviews for Death and Papa Noel (A Follet Valley Mystery)

'Like going on a joyous romp through the Loire valley with Agatha Christie, P. G. Woodhouse and M. C. Beaton. A delight' C. K. MCDonnell 'Funny, pacey and very entertaining' Robin Ince 'Such a brilliant read, smart, funny and his sharp writing captures the nuances of “Anglo-French” relations beautifully' Zoe Lyons 'This book is a fun and funny read and I’m very much looking forward to the next one' Ian Stone 'Ian Moore is a brilliant, funny writer who perfectly captures the foibles of rural France but judging by this book I will never be visiting his bed and breakfast’ Josh Widdicombe 'Ian is one of my favourite writers; this is hilarious and a great mystery too' Janey Godley 'Beautifully done. Very funny indeed. I can’t imagine how one plots something like that. Tremendous work' Miles Jupp 'Good food and a laugh-out-loud mystery. What more could anyone want in these dark times' Mark Billingham 'This is like two great books in one, a tricksy whodunnit, and a really, really funny story' Jason Manford 'I'm so punchdrunk from the sheer entertainment of it I've got a sore jaw. Encore!' Matt Forde 'A joyous read!' Alan Carr 'A very funny page-turner. Fantastique!' Adam Kay
