The Brittany Murders
by Anne Penketh

Escape to France for your new favourite cozy murder mystery series!

Jennifer and her family are starting their new life in a small village in Brittany. The views are stunning, the bread is amazing, and the locals are mostly friendly. But life in France still has its perils . . .

It’s their first family Christmas in the village of Louennec and Jennifer decides to throw a party for some of the other expats.

The wine is flowing and her new friend Pippa’s homemade biscuits are going down a treat.

But before the festivities can really get started, they realise estate agent Adam is missing . . .

Jennifer and Pippa are horrified to find him face down in the fish pond. A tragic accident . . . or something more sinister?

Adam’s death shakes the whole community. All the Brits in the area bought their homes from him. Who would want to hurt him?

The French police are making slow progress. So Jennifer and Pippa start doing some digging. Can they solve the mystery before anyone else dies?

From bestselling author Anne Penketh, this is a warm and witty murder mystery full of twists.

Perfect for fans of Martin Walker, Ian Moore, Peter Boland, Fiona Leitch, Rachel Ward, Emylia Hall, Katie Marsh, and L.J. Ross’s atmospheric mysteries.
