An unputdownable, new mystery series set in rural France by comedian, TV/radio regular, and bestselling author Ian Moore. I love Ian Moore's writing, it's simple and easy and really places you in the situation with Richard.

The dust cover was very slightly damaged (torn) at the bottom of the spine but I guess that is what happens when a hardback with a loose outer sleeve gets stuffed into a flat, cardboard envelope. The rip-roaring third book in The Times-bestselling murder mystery series, by leading TV/radio comedian Ian Moore!I do also think this could be enjoyed as a standalone read, and overall is a great summer read for anyone who enjoys a cosy mystery with a good dose of self-deprecating British humour! In true Pamplemousse fashion, the detective uncovers hidden motives and cleverly unravels the truth behind the crime, all while indulging in the region's delectable croissants and gastronomic delights. The novel is told from his point of view, so much of the humour comes from his reactions to the notably more volatile Valérie and his desire to underplay life in general. Richard and Valerie are back and their company is providing security for a film production company .

A BBC TV and radio regular, he was a Champion on Richard Osman's House of Games and stars in Radio 4's The Now Show. A murder mystery on a film set and Richard been in his element as his worlds collide giving a gripping story. Poisoning is the main method of murder here and the pair of amateur sleuths try to get to the bottom of it .

There were a lot of side characters who we get introduced to very quickly which did make it confusing to remember them all. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. This book was every bit of excitement and adventure that I was hoping for and as always an incredibly enjoyable experience. The “will they, won’t they” relationship between the main characters continues, and I’m hopeful for how this will progress in the next book!
