I actually really liked this one more than the first one! I found it so interesting to see the dynamics of family life for Richard and I really felt like Richard was more into this case than the first book. 

I definitely got more murder mystery vibes from this one too which I think is what kept me gripped and want to find out more. 

The only reason for not a higher rating is because there are so many characters to keep up with that it can be a struggle to keep up with and remember how everyone is connected to each other and how they are relevant to the case. 

I love that this wonderful book pokes fun at itself at the same time that it makes you want to move to this little country town in France. Even if a lot of people get murdered there. I enjoyed this second installment of the Follet Valley mystery series. It was a light, quick read that kept me guessing. I love Richard and Valerie, and really hope we get more of them. But the tiny chihuahua does sometimes steal the show.

Fasten your seatbelt, Richard. It’s going to be a bumpy ride
Richard is at a crossroads in book 2 of the Follet Valley Mystery series. His (ex) wife, daughter and son-in-law are back and have made plans that should have been run by him but weren’t. Clare wants to reunite and has solicited a teaching position back in the UK for him. His unemployed son-in-law is eyeing the B&B at his next business venture and daughter Alicia is along for the ride. And of course the mysterious Valerie is back and dragging him into not one, but three, or is it four, murders. Now it’s up to him to decide what he wants. Is this his last case? A highly enjoyable outing is awaiting you, hens included!
