I would like to start off this review by thanking Poison Pen Press and Netgalley for this ARC of Death ad Croissants by Ian Moore. Now let's dive in!
Richard is a middle aged, soon to be divorcee who runs a bed and breakfast. One day, one of his guests disappears leaving his room covered in blood stains. One of his current guests, Valérie, suggests they get to the bottom of this mystery. The story follows Richard and Valérie's adventure in this wild "whodunit?"
I thought this book was a lot of fun! It wasn't something I would normally choose for myself. It's a mystery without the gory details and stressful plot. I liked that I could laugh at this book while also being engaged in the plot of the mystery. This book would be great for people who like thrillers but don't like the stress of the plot. Overall, this book was funny, cute, and refreshing.
Thanks again Poison Pen Press and Netgalley!

Li este título e pensei imediatamente: “Quero ler”, adoro este livros cozy mystery.
Passado no romântico vale do Loire, o chamado “jardim da França”… quem diria que neste ambiente idílico um crime iria ser cometido. Ainda para mais na pousada de Richard, um inglês de meia idade, que se refugiou naquela região na busca de sossego para escrever o seu romance.
Richard vê a sua vida de pernas para o ar, e de repente, parece que está a viver um dos filmes que tanto adora. É uma personagem muito engraçada, muito ingénua e é sempre o último a perceber o que se está a passar.
Já Valérie, uma hóspede da pousada de Richard, é o oposto, cativante e enérgica, é mesmo o que ele precisa para apimentar os seus dias.
A empregada da pousada é uma personagem super cómica e os vizinhos excêntricos são a cereja no topo do bolo.
É uma leitura divertida e leve, ideal para umas boas gargalhadas e perfeita para um fim de semana descontraído.
