Discover your new favourite cozy mystery series set in Brittany.
Reformed banker Pippa is living her best life in the idyllic town of Louennec in Brittany. Business at her new bakery is booming and she even has a new man. But life in France still has its perils . . .
Pippa is catering an event for local ageing British rock star, Alex 'Rockface' Johnson. He's hosting a boar hunt at his tumbledown country ch?teau and Pippa is cooking the celebration dinner for when the men return.
She's just making the final preparations when one of the guests bursts in. There's been a tragic accident - Alex was shot dead at his own hunt.
But Pippa's handsome gendarme beau lets slip that the bullet that killed the eccentric rockstar did not come from any of the other hunters' guns . . .
Pippa ropes in her best friend Jennifer to start doing some digging. Then another local dies in suspicious circumstances. Can sleuths Pippa and Jennifer get to the bottom of these dangerous goings-on before there's another murder in Brittany?
From bestselling author Anne Penketh, this is a fiendish small-town murder mystery full of twists and French charm.
Perfect for fans of Martin Walker, Peter Boland, Fiona Leitch, Emylia Hall and L.J. Ross's atmospheric mysteries.
MEET OUR AMATEUR SLEUTHS
Jennifer and her family moved to France when she'd finally had enough of the rat race. With her husband, Jonathan, she took on a smallholding in the idyllic Brittany countryside - complete with chickens and rabbits and sheep. But the fresh start and change of scenery hasn't fixed the problems in their marriage.
Pippa is reinventing herself as a baker after leaving her old life as a City banker behind. She was delighted to meet fellow Brit Jennifer on the stalls at the weekly market. She lives next door to a friendly gendarme who inadvertently provides helpful tidbits for Pippa and Jennifer's investigations.
THE SETTING
The remote village of Louennec lies in the far west of Brittany, where Atlantic storms sweep across the sheep-dotted hills and valleys. The countryside is beautiful, but earning a living as a farmer in this wild terrain can be tough, and the locals are not always so welcoming towards newcomers, or the British fondness for le curry . . .
