“Richard Ainsworth’s French B&B has been taken over by a production company shooting a historical film at the Château de Valençay.

To get to the bottom of things, Valérie d’Orçay and Richard offer catering services to the hastily resumed production. There they discover that the vanity, duplicity and murder of an 18th century French court is nothing compared to that of a 21st century film set, with more heads yet to roll.”–Provided by publisher.
