- Baker & Taylor
A string of fires in Llanfair, which appear to be the work of Welsh nationalists targeting foreign-owned property, puts Constable Evan Evans in pursuit of a trail of clues that eventually leads to France and a complicated case of arson, murder, and international intrigue - Baker & Taylor
After opening a post French restaurant in the village of Llanfair, Madame Yvette is eager to win over the locals, but a spate of mysterious fires claims the eatery one night and a body is found in the smoking rubble. Original. - Blackwell North Amer
When an unused chapel reopens as a French restaurant, the villagers of Llanfair are excited, but also a bit suspicious. For one thing, it doesn't seem quite right to put a restuarant in what used to be the Lord's house; for another, the owner, Madame Yvette, is a stranger, and a glamorous one at that. But Madame Yvette's cooking classes begin to soften the hearts of the townswomen, although their husbands are less enthusiastic about the unfamilier food on their tables.
Their attention is soon diverted by more serious problems. A string of fires has begun to plague the town. Constable Evan-Evans suspects that Welsh nationalists may be targeting foreign-owned property, especially after Madame Yvette receives a threatening note. When she asks for Evan's help, he finds himself in the middle of a complicated case of murder, arson, and international intrigue (not to mention the displeasure of his longtime admirers, Bronwen and Betsy, at his frequent encounters with the exotic Yvette).
Constable Evans follows a trail of clues that leads to the South of England and then to France - a trail that leads to unexpected conclusions. Nothing is what it seems and a dangerous killer may be loose in Llanfair. With her fourth book in this acclaimed series, Rhys Bowen offers another ingenious tale of mystery and murder in an otherwise tranquil town. - McMillan PalgraveThere is both excitement and dismay in Llanfair when a new French restaurant opens.

One night the restaurant burns down, and a body is found in the rubble.
Constable Evans joins Sergeant Watkins to follow a trail of clues that leads them to the South of England and then to France, and finally to the conclusion that a dangerous killer is loose in Llanfair.
