samlynnphillips 's review for:
Death and Croissants
by Ian Moore
I wanted to get caught up in this book, but I did not.
For a cosy murder mystery, I expected it to be a page turner, but it just wasn’t. I got bored and put it down a lot. Ultimately I finished it because I wanted to be done reading it.
The idea is quite interesting and fun, but the execution was lacking.
I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters, especially the protagonist, Richard. His constant referencing of classic movies bored me. And Valerie didn’t seem all that alluring. I was more interested in his relationships with his wife and daughter, the latter of which was only played for comedy. Maybe we were supposed to feel bad for Richard, but I just felt annoyed with him.
Not a lot of closure in the end.
Who killed the chicken?
