Murder in Monpazier: A Picture-Perfect Crime
A world-famous British artist is murdered in a bucolic medieval village wreathed in secrets.
When the broken body of celebrated British artist Tony Grant is discovered in his immaculate home in the picturesque medieval village of Monpazier, the mystery is not just who killed him – but how, and why.
Grant’s rags-to-riches life was as dramatic as one of his paintings. Brutalised in care homes and tempered by harsh experience, he rose from violence and poverty to international acclaim – along the way gathering wealth, fame, lovers … and enemies.
In a Dordogne village known for its beauty and tranquility, but weary of COVID restrictions, long-buried emotions, bitter
resentments and unexpected betrayals emerge from the shadows of its mysterious alleyways and enigmatic stones.
A gripping and elegantly constructed mystery with echoes of Louise Penny and Donna Leon, Murder in Monpazier is a story of art, desire, betrayal – and secrets hiding in plain sight.
