At the Foyer des Tilleuls, a peaceful retirement home tucked in the heart of provincial France, nothing exciting ever happens - until one fateful Scrabble night.
When the director suddenly collapses after sipping his herbal tea, whispers ripple through the corridors faster than the scent of burnt toast.
Was it an accident... or something far more deliberate?
Between crossword clues and cups of chamomile, a group of sharp-witted residents take matters into their own hands.
There's Lucienne, the retired teacher who corrects everyone's grammar (including the police inspector's).
Fernand, the ex-gendarme who still thinks in reports.
Suzanne, the quiet librarian who notices everything.
Raymond, the flirt with a suspicious charm.
And Odile, whose trembling hands might hide more than grief.
Inspector Lemoine soon discovers that in this house, everyone has secrets - and that age does nothing to soften guilt.
Funny, poignant, and deliciously French, The Old Folks Fight Back is a cosy mystery about friendship, memory, and the small rebellions that keep us alive.
A heartwarming whodunit - like if Agatha Christie had tea with Amélie Poulain.
