      Es ist wieder richtig was los im Loiretal: Richard Ainsworths kleine Pension wird von Filmleuten in Beschlag genommen, die im Chateau de Valençay ein historisches Drama drehen. Als echter Cineast ist Richard natürlich Feuer und Flamme. Doch dann gerät der Dreh ins Stocken, als plötzlich ein Schauspieler unter merkwürdigen Umständen stirbt! Richard und Valérie, die inzwischen ein echtes Detektivbüro gegründet haben, wollen der Sache auf den Grund gehen. Ihre Nebentätigkeit als Sicherheitsteam beim Dreh eignet sich bestens, um undercover zu ermitteln – und um einen Mörder zu enttarnen, ist die beeindruckende Schlosskulisse gerade opulent genug. Doch kaum in den Fall eingestiegen, sind sie von Intrigen und Zerwürfnissen umgeben, gegen die jedes Drehbuch blass aussieht. Eins ist sicher: Der Mörder muss unter den Filmleuten sein. Und es wird höchste Zeit, dass ihn jemand stoppt. Sonst wird es nicht bei dem einen Todesfall bleiben …

      Käsemord im Nachbarort! Im Loiretal ist wieder ordentlich was los – ein herrlich rasanter und urkomischer kulinarischer Krimi. Richard hat es sich sehr gemütlich gemacht in seiner kleinen Pension im Loiretal und in seinem ruhigen Leben, in dem absolut nichts passiert – genau, wie es ihm recht ist. Er will keine Mörder jagen, und er ist kein Detektiv! Doch plötzlich ist großer Aufruhr im Val de Follet: Das Restaurant im Nachbarort hat einen Michelin-Stern verloren. Der verzweifelte Koch muss mit dieser Schande zurechtkommen, das ganze Dorf ist starr vor Schreck. Wie aufs Kommando taucht natürlich Valérie d'Orçay aus Paris in ihrem gelben Oldtimer auf, das Hündchen in der Handtasche. Und sie macht es Richard unmöglich, sich aus dieser Sache einfach herauszuhalten, wie es ihm eigentlich am besten gefiele. Wenig später ertrinkt der Chef der weit und breit besten Ziegenkäserei im Käsetank. War es Selbstmord? Wohl kaum, denkt Valérie, und spätestens als der sensationslüsterne Restaurantkritiker Tatillon in Richards Pension unterkommt, findet auch der sich mitten in einem hoch spektakulären Fall wieder …
