Synopsis

Cherringham parish council has invited Laurent Bourdain, mayor of a French village on the Brittany coast, to a gala reception to join the two villages in a mutually beneficial “twinning.” The venue: Lady Repton’s manor house, which her grandson hopes to turn into a world-class conference center. An elaborate dinner worthy of the French dignitary has been prepared. But as the night wears on, and the wine flows, the mayor will vanish from the celebration, only to be found floating dead in the nearby lake. An accident it would appear, until Jack and Sarah start to piece together what really happened.Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, this cozy detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly—but with a spot of tea—it’s like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

Reviews

Band 7 der Cosy Crime Reihe. Dieser Band hat mir wieder sehr gut gefallen. Es geht um einen französischen Bürgermeister, der nach einer Feier tot im See gefunden wird. Was zunächst wie ein Unfall aussieht, entpuppt sich bald als Mord. Ein neuer Fall für Jack und Sarah. 😊 Ich mag diese Cosy Crime Reihe......more

Goodreads review by Monika

Opět jsem si příběh Jacka a Sarah užila, jen je mi vždy líto, že je to příběh na pár stránek. Oba by si zasloužili mnohem víc prostoru. Já osobně mám moc ráda poklidné detektivní příběhy z anglického maloměsta, kde se lidé znají a celkově se ty vztahy prolínají do příběhu. Tady jsem opět dostala, co......more
