About this listen

The first novel in the enthralling Follet Valley Series, by TV/radio regular Ian Moore.

Richard is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a B&B in the fictional Val de Follet in the Loire Valley. Nothing ever happens to Richard, and really that’s the way he likes it. One day, however, one of his older guests disappears, leaving behind a bloody handprint on the wallpaper. 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 hen...and you don’t mess with a fellow’s hens!

Unpausable mystery set in rural France, by TV/radio regular and best-selling author Ian Moore - perfect for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, Julia Chapman, or M.C. Beaton. Everyone is wanting mort!

narrator

Hire a pro. I'm sure if I wrote a book I would feel only I could get the voices right. I get why authors would want to narrate, but its a mistake. Some get it right, Neil Gaiman comes to mind, but most don't.
Moore did ok, but I could hear the sound of "I've read this 1000 times" in the delivery. The engineering could use some work too. So, the story, I may have been able to get into but the narration kept from going past chapter 7 or 8. Pay the pros, they can make a bad book okay and a good one great!

Great Book - please make another recording

A wonderful book full of great humor. I really enjoyed it. Read by the author. The author did their best, but a recording by a professional actor would elevate this book so much more.

Hilarious

A charming mystery revolving around an English expat running a B & B in France with brilliant English sarcastic humor woven throughout.

Deeply witty and very funny

Very much fun. Fast paced well conceived. Perfectly read by the author (which I sometimes deplore). I listened nearly straight through.

Funny cozy mystery

Fun and light cozy mystery of a British expat in France. Draws humor from pairing a straight-laced, somewhat befuddled, middle-aged English man with a smart, capable, and charismatic French woman. Charming story and narration.

Silly

Too convoluted, far fetched and silly. Not worth listening to the rest of the books in the series.

Easy listening and well read

Well read, nothing deep but not trite. Enjoyed my drive while listening. Will listen to some more of the series.

Ridiculous and enormously fun

Wild, convoluted and imaginative twist on a cozy mystery. Ian Moore was an excellent narrator for his book - the right tone, dry humor and male confusion.

Very very entertaining.

I am hoping for more from Ian in future.
