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!

Fun, clever mystery

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.

Ridiculous and enormously fun

The narrator’s reading are so funny and the characters are well-conceived, warm and sympathetic. Like taking a vacay in the Loire Valley.

Laugh out loud funny

Delightful. Well wrought mystery interlaced with well defined characters and lots of laugh out loud humor. I will quickly sign up for all his books

Both British and French

Juts OK. I liked the Thursday murder club much more. This is not as tightly written and I grew bored of the tedious nature abs the reluctant sort of self-pity of the main character.

Laborious humor

Delightful and fun mystery. Enjoyed the reader as well. He was very pleasant to listen to.

Loved it!
