Murder at the Château
Anne Penketh
Works of: Fiction
Murder at the Château, the second in the series of The Brittany Murders, features murder, metalheads and motorbikes in rural France where the influence of the far right is spreading.
Ex-banker Pippa is living her best life in the Breton village of Louennec. Business at her bakery is booming and she even has a new man. But life in France still has its perils . . .
Pippa is catering an event for local ageing British rock star, Alex ‘Rockface’ Johnson. He’s hosting a boar hunt at his tumbledown country château and Pippa is cooking the celebration dinner for when the men return. She’s just making the final preparations when one of the guests bursts in. There’s been a tragic accident — Alex was shot dead at his own hunt.
But Pippa’s handsome gendarme beau lets slip that the bullet that killed the eccentric rockstar did not come from any of the other hunters’ guns . . .
Pippa ropes in her best friend Jennifer to do some digging. Then another local dies in suspicious circumstances. Can sleuths Pippa and Jennifer get to the bottom of the mystery before there’s another murder?
