When you moved out of North London to a picturesque hamlet in the Dordogne no one said it would be like this in February:freezing cold,dark by mid-afternoon and so quiet. Members of the Caminade family keep dying in suspicious circumstances,and the doctor knows more about it than he's prepared to reveal.
You're sure there's a murderer at large: could it be the Old Dutch Woman or her deranged son, or the Mad Englishman from over the hill, and could you be the next victim? Maybe you're imagining things,maybe it's the whisky, but then what's that scratching sound coming from the other half of the house...?
The first in a series, Death in the Dordogne portrays a rural France very different from A Year in Provence.
