'Cosy, quirky and wry, but most of all, hilariously funny!' JANICE HALLETT, author of The Appeal
A crew is staying at Richard's B&B while filming at a nearby chateau. But when a beloved actor suddenly dies, Richard and Valerie go undercover to discover whether his death was really an accident.
From the bestselling author of Death and Croissants and Death and Fromage comes a murder mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett or Richard Coles.
Richard Ainsworth's French B&B has been taken over by a production company shooting a historical film at the Château de Valençay. But everything grinds to a halt with the sudden passing of an actor under suspicious circumstances.
To get to the bottom of things, Valérie d'Orçay and Richard offer catering services to the hastily resumed production. There they discover that the vanity, duplicity and murder of an 18th century French court is nothing compared to that of a 21st century film set, with more heads yet to roll.
‘Ian Moore's trademark, witty style had me laughing one moment and trying to pick over the clues in forensic detail the next' Jamie West, author of Death on the Pier
‘Death at the Chateau combined all my favourite bits of cosy mysteries; great characters, chaotic moments and hilarity!’ Hannah Hendy, author of The Dinner Lady Detectives
‘What a terrific read! Reading it felt like being sat outside a rural French cafe, the sun warm on my neck and a smell of baking baguettes in the air' J. M. Hall, author of A Spoonful of Murder
