Quelle horreur! A French holiday leads to disaster for American Anglophile Dorothy Martin in this engaging new cozy mystery.
When Dorothy Martin goes to Franceâalone because Alan is stuck back home in Sherebury with a broken ankleâshe worries about her ability to get along in a language she barely speaks, and in a country she hasnât seen for over fifty years. But by the time Alan joins her a week later, Dorothy has found herself embroiled in one mystery after another: a woman drowning in quicksand; a man suffering a near-fatal fall in the abbey at Mont Saint Michel; and a missing American archaeologistâall seemingly connected to a monk named Abelard who has been dead for almost nine hundred years.
It isnât until another body is discovered that Dorothyâs ability to âthink outside the boxâ finally unravels the threads of a despicable scheme.
Jeanne M. Dams, an American, is a devout Anglophile who has wished she could live in England ever since her first visit in 1963. Fortunately, her alter ego, Dorothy Martin, can do just that. Dorothy has featured in twenty-four previous novels. Jeanne lives in South Bend, Indiana.
