lavanda4 's review for:
Death and Croissants
by Ian Moore
What could possibly go wrong for a ho-hum middle-aged man operating a B&B in the Loire Valley? A bloody handprint on the wall and missing person, of course! Not only that but enter Sicilian mafia, impersonations, housebreaking and chicken capers and Richard's life goes from ordinary to the extraordinary in no time flat. Thank goodness for Valerie who gets investigations going. She cracks me up!
British humour often has me cackling which it does at times in this book (especially Richard's views on "dirty laundry", chicken humour and comical stealth involved). There are witticisms around every corner. However, my wish for a stronger mystery element was a wee bit deflated which did not hold with my expectations. In spite of the humour, something just didn't connect. However, the book was still enjoyable. Clever cover, too.
My sincere thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for providing me with an early digital copy of this whacky novel.
