About this listen

A thrilling new crime series by the best-selling author of Death and Croissants

A Killer. A Saint. A Town Full of Whispers

When an English expat is brutally murdered, his charred corpse left on a Loire Valley hillside, the police turn to juge d’instruction Matthieu Lombard to find the perpetrator.

Instead, Lombard discovers a wealth of secrets, grudges, and feuds in the idyllic town of Saint-Genèse-sur-Loire. He begins to suspect that the remaining members of the Comité des Fêtes know more about the death than they are letting on.

But rather than leading to an arrest, each clue he uncovers seems to point in one, unexpected direction: Joan of Arc. Is the answer to the murder hiding in the barroom gossip of the Lion d’Or? Or in another century altogether?

The thrilling new crime series from The Times-bestselling author of Death and Croissants.

Different from previous, but excellent

A darker character in the Judge, but really enjoyed his storytelling. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Not a comedy but just as good

Have enjoyed all Ian's books and this was excellent. Looking forward to more of these stories.

Excellent,

A strong, enjoyably twisty plot, beautifully written with well-rounded, believable characters.

Very different from Moore's "Death&Croissants" series, which I also love. This has less levity and more shadow, but the shadows are very much worth exploring.

The audio is well done. Fits the mood and pace of the book.

Would recommend.

loved the story and French aspect of it.

visited the area described in the story so this added another lever. I enjoy French police/detective stories full stop.

Not a fan

This book was a bit like Midsomer Murders set in France; too many characters muddled the plot, made it difficult to follow. Basically it was a good story but it didn’t quite work for me.
