THIS IS AN ENTERTAINING NOVEL THAT WILL DELIGHT FANS OF SLEUTHING, MYSTERY AND MURDER. - Readers' Favorite.
The tourist season is almost over and Catherine is happy to have four guests staying at her chambres d'hôtes and gîte for an indefinite time: Monsieur Risot, timid and skittish; Monsieur Latou, garrulous about his house renovation; Mr. Colberry, a boisterous man keen to search the local brocantes for antiques and Eva, a Dutch book collector. Leaving her eccentric guests in the care of her husband Karl, Catherine accompanies her friend Marie to a family gathering at a chateau, having been persuaded by the likely appearance of a resident ghost.Within a short time events take a turn for the worse when one of the chateau guests is gunned down and Catherine is witness to a body being discovered in the river Charente. Disconcerted, she returns home to find her guests have been acting strangely and one of them has disappeared. Suspecting all is not as it seems, Catherine finds herself once again involved in circumstances beyond her control. Events conclude when Inspector Maupetit, having regularly ignored Catherine's concerns, finally takes action with Karl giving law enforcement a helping hand.
