Dark Secrets of the Dordogne

When Pamela and William Sinclair move to France, their expectations are high. What could be more idyllic than living in a Renaissance château, feasting on local produce and elegant French wines? They don't expect to be stalked by a serial killer who prowls the countryside on the full moon. Nor do they anticipate a power struggle with Shirley Johnson-Smith, the self-appointed Queen of the Dordogne.A darkly comic French noir, this is a murder mystery populated by exaggerated personalities, sharp satire, and characters who are very much larger than life. Any resemblance to sensible behaviour is purely coincidental. Readers are advised to suspend disbelief, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy the madness. 'Perfectly captures the idiosyncrasies of British ex-pat life in an idyllic French community. You can almost smell the croissants!' David A J Berner 'I loved this book! The author paints a beguiling picture of life as an expatriate in France, with an undertone of menace that contrasts nicely with the languor of life in the Dordogne.' S Hilton 'A fun sprint through the Brit ex-pat community in the south of France. Social snobbery rules - and then there's the serial killer running amok. A light and easy read' J Batori 'I thoroughly enjoyed it, and found it laugh out loud hilarious, literally!' J Warmann
