Death in le Jardin

On the surface, Richard Ainsworth has life where he wants it. Middle-aged navel gazing and Olympic levels of procrastination are exactly what rural life in France should be about.

Then crisis hits his posh B&B when the redoubtable housekeeper, Madame Tablier, is accused of murder. Even more surprisingly, it's the murder of a former fiancé, turned brother-in-law. None of which the stubborn old woman denies.

Valerie d'Orcay is having none of it, and their investigation leads them to a strange tourist garden village, where backbiting, recriminations, and even former colleagues provide a deadly scenario more tangled than knotweed.

Death in le Jardin is a thrilling tale of mystery and intrigue set against the backdrop of picturesque rural France, perfect for those who enjoy a good puzzle wrapped in layers of deception.
