relf 's review for:

Death and Croissants by Ian Moore
3.0
funny lighthearted mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A lighthearted, funny, and, in the end, silly mystery that was just what I needed to listen to (read by the author) in my post-U.S.-election-2024 funk. The central character is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a b-and-b in the Loire Valley of France, and the characters staying there draw him into the mystery of a missing--maybe murdered?--man who had also been a guest. The plot didn't actually hold a lot of water--and I do still need to know who killed the chicken--but I enjoyed listening.
