Death and Fromage is the second in the Follet Valley Mysteries, I haven't read the first instalment but quickly got to grips with the characters and their relationships with one another. I found it hard to keep track of all the suspects and the storylines, if I put the book down it would take me a good 15 minutes the next time I picked it up to get properly in it again. I didn't manage to figure out any of the plot twists or the final culprit.

This is not my first book from Ian Moore and I must admit that I’m a big fan. We follow Richard, a middle-aged Englishman that run’s a B&B in France. His life is quiet and peaceful just as he likes it until a scandal comes to life. Fabrice, a goat-cheese supplier is found dead. And Richard wonders, was it suicide or murder? He’s quite drawn to discover the cause of death.
The characters we are presented to throughout the story are quirky and there’s a lot of funny moments that make this book an amazing cozy mystery. It has a good pace and it’s full of mysteries and intrigues. We have jokes, twists, and a lot of references to movies.
I recommend it to everyone that enjoys cozy mysteries with a bit of humor on them. It was such a delightful read, it made me laugh out loud a few times and it made me feel like I was eating French gourmet food.

This mystery is set in France and features Richard, an English B & B owner, who is enamoured with Valerie, a charming albeit mysterious French bounty hunter. Richard is a film historian and references old films to help him make sense of things.
A fancy multi course dinner at a new restaurant ends badly, and soon the bodies begin to appear. Valerie is on the case and brings Richard along for the ride. Things get complicated when Richard's estranged wife shows up unexpectedly.
I enjoyed this mystery. It has a slow start and Richard tends to drift through life, but by the end I was absorbed. I plan to look for more books in this series.

I enjoyed the read, was a cute book!
It was a bit confusing at times.
It could have been clearer what was happening at some parts!
All in all I would recommend it to people who like a cute mystery and french towns.

This was better than the first installment in the series, maybe because I now knew what I was getting myself into.
I couldn't guess the murderer. But somewhere in my mind I might have been sneeking around in the neighborhood this time. Some of all the plot twists at the end I actually had guessed beforehand. But the majority was news to me.
Again this is a very British cosy crime. It feels a bit like the story is held back by something compared to Swedish cosy crime where I feel that the authors more often goes all in.
With all that said it's still a fun story to read and just go along with. If you are a Agatha Christie fan I think that you would really like this.
