Imagine being given a chance to live your best life in a beautiful estate in French Countryside-and all you had to do was kill one little old lady?
The French Word for Murder is the story of Bradley and Veronica Piper, a bourgie Bay Area couple who make a small fortune in advertising and buy their dream home in the tiny French village of Saint-Arnac.
They purchase the home en viager, which means they have to wait for the current resident, Agnes Depuy, to die before taking possession. The problem is that despite being very old and in bad health, Agnes just won't die. Desperate to move in, Bradley and Veronica go to France to hurry the process along.
The French Word for Murder is a page-turning, comedically dark novel perfect for overseas plane travel en route to finding your ideal Provençal getaway.
