Series: A Follet Valley Mystery

A crew is staying at Richard's B&B while filming at a nearby chateau. But when a beloved actor suddenly dies, Richard and Valerie go undercover to discover whether his death was really an accident.

From the bestselling author of Death and Croissants and Death and Fromage comes a murder mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Julia Chapman, or MC Beaton.

Richard Ainsworth's French B&B has been taken over by a production company shooting a historical film at the Chateau de Valencay. But everything grinds to a halt with the sudden passing of an actor under suspicious circumstances.

To get to the bottom of things, Valerie d'Orcay and Richard offer catering services to the hastily resumed production. There they discover that the vanity, duplicity and murder of an 18th century French court is nothing compared to that of a 21st century film set, with more heads yet to roll.
