So the book started off well; the story was exciting and the writing was witty and funny. But then, around the second half, something changed— I don’t know if it was me losing interest or something with the writing, but it just became such a chore for me to pick it up again.
I’ve received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is absolutely delightful! My second reading.
British Richard is a retired Film Historian having a bit of a mid-life crisis and pending divorce, isn’t your typical Inn Keeper in rural France. His constant film references quoting old movies is so much fun and often hilarious, especially because nobody gets them. Also his greatest nemesis is IMBD.
Cue Valerie an elusive mysterious French woman with a chihuahua, also having a bit of a mid-life crisis staying at Richard’s Inn. There is a strict no pet policy.
It’s like Fawlty Towers with British-French jokes instead of British-Spanish jokes. And more amateur detecting. And film noir references.
So, it’s perfect for me.

Weird book, story was slow and boring to start with then as soon as plot kicked it it got good then the ending was like a murder comedy film... not difficult to read just unusual
