Murder at Roaringwater is the inside story of a young Frenchwoman, Sophie Toscan du Plantier. This is a notorious and unresolved murder, where the victim seemed to have a premonition of her own terrible end. For six years, Nick Foster has been piecing together the life and death of Sophie, who was violently killed outside her cottage in the remote West Cork countryside in 1996. He also developed an ongoing friendship with the Englishman long-suspected of her murder, Ian Bailey. This case is as fascinating as it is tragic. It follows Nick s dedicated investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Frenchwoman s murder and his quest to find her killer and understand how such a terrible crime could have happened. Bailey was recently found guilty of Sophie's murder 'in absentia' in a French courtroom.
