I adore this series! It’s the perfect blend of mystery and comedy, and the setting of the Loire valley compliments the story so perfectly and also sets up some really great moments in the book. The mystery itself is really well written with some great twists and interesting clues which creates a really engaging story. As well as this, the characters are so loveable and so hilarious! I would really recommend this book to anyone who’s a fan of the Thursday Murder Club series or just cosy crime books in general!

Death and Fromage - Ian Moore
Richard and Valerie are back sleuthing again. This time a local restaurant in Saint Sauver is downgraded from a Michelin star 3 to 2, there is shame and shock and then the leading local goats cheese supplier drowns himself in his own pasteurisation tanks.
Richard is happy with his quiet life in the B&B in the Val de Floret but Valérie has other ideas and he is drawn into the investigation.
‘A body turns up, previously happy, successful families are ripped apart, secrets emerge and everywhere I turn there is my ex wife bounty hunter, possible assassin, and her lapdog.’
Richard is an archetypal Brit abroad, bumbling, horrified to be front and centre but is pleased that he gets mistaken for the Earl Of Grantham. Valérie is kick ass, a bounty hunter and has Richard eating out of her hand, not literally. The characters in this are good fun, it’s a light and humorous cosy mystery.
It turns out to be murder of course, with another body, family secrets and vegan cheese. There are lots of tongue in cheek gags and quite a bit of English/French banter. An easy flowing read, ideal for a holiday and a crisp glass of white.
‘All I want is a quiet life, you understand? A quiet life.’
