Meet Pippa. Shes feisty, forty-something - and living her best life in the charming little town of Louennec, Brittany.
Not so long ago, she was a corporate career girl. Now she runs her own bakery - and goes home every night to her dishy gendarme boyfriend and a glass of Merlot.
But murder is just around the corner . . .
Pippa is out on her rounds, delivering delicious crusty bread to her most loyal customers. Her first stop is Dereks remote gîte. Fitness instructor Derek sees carbs as the enemy. But even he cant resist Pippas signature baguettes.
Pippa cycles to Dereks door . . . only to discover, someone got there first.
Derek is dead! His body lies slumped across the piano, in a mess of blood and - to Pippas horror - breadcrumbs.
Hes been bludgeoned over the head with . . . a lethal stick of bread?
Just like that, Pippa finds the finger of suspicion pointing at her.
Can she follow the trail of breadcrumbs to uncover the true killer - before more of her friends and neighbours die?
From bestselling author Anne Penketh, this is a fiendish small-town murder mystery full of twists and French charm.
Perfect for fans of Martin Walker, Peter Boland, Fiona Leitch, Emylia Hall and L.J. Rosss atmospheric mysteries.
