It's their first family Christmas in the village of Louennec and Jennifer decides to throw a Christmas party for some of the other expats. The wine is flowing and her new friend Pippa's homemade biscuits are going down a treat. But before they can get started organising this year's Christmas panto, they realise estate agent Adam is missing . . . They are horrified to find him sprawled face down in the fish pond. Adam's death shakes the whole community. All the Brits in the area bought their houses from him. Who would want to hurt him? The French police are making slow progress. So Jennifer and Pippa start doing some digging. But can they solve the mystery before the killer strikes again?
