2000s: Back to the Dordogne village of Castillac for the second in the Molly Sutton mysteries
Molly might be an amateur detective but after her first case, she soon stumbles on her second and there’s no small fry either! After a missing students in book one, this second episode sees her stumbling across a dead body.
She’s keen to get involved and soon starts to listen in on the whispers and rumours doing the rounds. Chief Dufort has his suspect but even as he’s about to put the handcuffs on him, Molly’s not convinced he’s their man
The problem is, can she prove it and even if she can, will anyone listen to her?
Castillac Molly admits is not exactly the south of France, but it’s south-ish
Castillac was not a village that attracted many tourist or expats, and the upper layer of Castillac society was not aristocratic or even especially rich but even so it had a level of wealth beyond what Sabrina could comprehend.
Molly moved here at the end of one summer and had wanted a fresh start in a new place. What she imagined was a life of gardening and fabulous food, running a gite, and wandering around the village but that’s not what had turned out. However on the whole, Castillac was better than she had dreamed of as the new friends she’d made, her new surroundings and the beauty of the village itself never failed to impress her.
And in this novel, it’s snowing and there’s a pretty blanket of white, snow making it take on a rather Christmassy and picture postcard feel.
