Publisher's summary

Murder at Roaringwater is the inside story of a young Frenchwoman, Sophie Toscan du Plantier. In this notorious and unresolved crime, the victim seemed to have a premonition of her own terrible end.

Ever since she was violently killed outside her holiday cottage in the remote West Cork countryside just before Christmas in 1996, mystery has surrounded the unresolved case of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

For six years, author Nick Foster has been painstakingly piecing together her life and death, developing an ongoing ‘friendship’ with the Englishman long-suspected of her murder, Ian Bailey, and his partner, Jules Thomas.

The story follows Foster in Paris and Ireland as he leaves no stone unturned in his quest to reveal the young Frenchwoman’s killer and understand the motives behind such a terrible crime.

Additional.Bailey guilt evidence

Even if you've read every other Sophie case book. add this one to your library. The Irish DPP should be taken out to walk the plank. The whole lot of them. Thankdog Ian Bailey's worthless life was miserable. Now we need to get Jules.

Well done!

Author has spent many years discerning his conclusion to this terrible murder. Well worth the time to listen and listen again to catch all the points he makes.

Outstanding

The murder of Madame Sophie Toscan du Plantier has haunted West Cork for 27 years. Having met Ian Bailey and lived in West Cork, discussions of the horrific murder are common, yet nobody has been brought to justice. Foster provides a balanced account of the case expertly delivered, with an insight into the life of main suspect Ian Bailey.

Shameless self promotion

Wow. Nick Foster is amazing at spinning a tale. Nothing but opinion. Very entertaining, but a factionalized and sensationalized version of events, nonetheless. * I wanted FACTS, so I purchased Michael Sheridan’s book and feel very strongly, now that Bailey WAS the murderer.
