A comedy murder mystery set in France with an amateur sleuth out of his depth. When an older gentleman disappears from a B&B, Richard and his more capable partner must solve the case! Written by a leading comedian. Richard is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a B&B in the fictional Val de Follet in the Loire Valley.

Another guest, the exotic Valérie, 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! An unputdownable mystery set in rural France, by TV/radio regular and bestselling author Ian Moore – perfect for readers of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club
