Twins, hens and a french B&B (don't call it a B&B) combine to give us the basis for Ian Moore's captivating debut novel.
Joining the ranks of great comedians who have swapped a mic for a pen, Moore creates a very French murder mystery. Only his makes you laugh.
Think A Year In Provence meets Murder In Provence, only not in Provence and with a reluctant Barnaby (the second one) at the helm. With hints of dark goings on never far away.
It's gentle, it's funny, and there's a Chihuahua in a handbag.
What else do you want for your summer read?

The way it was rewritten made it quite difficult at times to understand what was happening.
I'm still not sure what the story was.
... And who killed the hen? :/

The language was stilted and the text flowed oddly, it brought me out of the story several times. It felt both too short and too long.
Ich habe es zweimal angefangen... der Narrator ist nicht für mich und ich bin auch nicht wirklich in die Story gekommen...

I thought i would absolutely love this; this storyline sounds so great. Unfortunately i was disappointed, it just lacked some magic and the humour was repetitive. However it is a quick book and nothing particularly wrong with it, although an extreme over use of commas!
