After successfully solving several Beaujolais murders, I’m ready to hang up my deerstalker and focus on my photography business. A champagne party seems like the perfect way to find new clients!
But my assistant is attacked, this heatwave just won’t end, and to top it all off, my criminal ex-husband shows up on my doorstep asking for my help.
Moments after I've slammed the door in his face, one of my guests is murdered in my own home, and with my own shoe!
All fingers point to my ex, but I’m not so sure. Could it have been one of the other guests? And who keeps making these attempts on my life? This murderer is getting too close, and I can’t think straight! I will need the help of friends both new and old if I’m to solve this case. Because if I don’t, it just might be my last.
Of Dutch origins, formerly in France and presently based in southern Britain, Christa Bakker spends her days gazing at romantic countryside, wondering how to describe it to do it justice. She loves good food, good puzzles and good villains.
Christa writes happy little bloody murders, but if she stares at you, don’t worry. She’s not planning to kill you, she’s just borrowing body parts for her next character.
Her daily accomplishments include keeping her two children alive, leaving her husband in peace, and not eating too much chocolate. Although that last one depends on your definition.
