Unputdownable mystery set in rural France, by TV/radio regular and bestselling author Ian Moore - perfect for fans of Richard Osman`s The Thursday Murder Club, Julia Chapman, or M.C. Beaton. Everyone is wanting mort! - what people are saying about Ian Moore: `Charming, witty, a brilliant read.` Sarah Millican `There are a great many comedians who think that they can also write books, myself included, but very few who can rival Ian Moore`s immediate warmth and skill with language.` Jon Richardson `Ian Moore is a brilliantly funny writer and that`s all there is to it.` Annabel Giles `Everything its author is: immaculately turned out, sharp and consistently hilarious.` Mark Billingham `What a strange and wonderful sight Ian Moore must present in the Loire Valley - an English Mod kicking around rural France with a young family, a few goats and big dreams of the good life. His brilliant book is warm, funny and big-hearted - easily the best Englishman-abroad memoir since Gerald Durrell was in short trousers and knocking around pre-war Corfu.` Tony Parsons `So well written and funny you feel you`re there flailing with him in the chicken coop. Warm, tender and incredibly funny. Treads that perfect balance between thigh-slappingly hilarious and heartbreakingly human: a unique and wonderful book.` Isy Suttie `Ian Moore is a brilliant comedian whose wit is as sharp as his dress sense and he has managed to take that on stage story telling brilliance and put it in his writing. A great read - even if your French!` John Bishop, Comedian and Broadcaster `Sharp, funny, warm and witty. If Ian Moore writes this well in France, he should never be let back into the UK.` Danny Wallace `A 21st Century Tony Hancock.` Dean Kelland
