Slanderous tongue : a Sumach mystery
"A deliciously eccentric murder mystery full of atmosphere and quirky characters, set in a centuries-old pocket of rural France. The day Didier Blot disappears without so much as a by-your-leave, more than a few of his fellow villagers heave a sigh of relief. But when rumours start to collect about Didier's sexual excapades and his outspoken environmental activism, the local veterinarian has good reason to fear he may become a murder suspect. He immediately sets a Canadian friend in the village to find out on the sly what the locals are saying. Sorting her way through the lies and salacious rumours lurking beneath the surface, she soon uncovers some curious connections. Still, she and the town vet have a few secrets of their own. How deep can she dig before tongues start to wag about her?"--Page 4 of cover
