Death and croissants: a novel
(Book)
Description
"Richard is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a B&B in the fictional Val de Follet in the Loire Valley. Nothing ever happens to Richard, and really that's the way he likes it. One day, however, one of his older guests disappears, leaving behind a bloody handprint on the wallpaper. Another guest, the exotic Valérie, persuades a reluctant Richard to join her in investigating the disappearance. Richard remains a dazed passenger in the case until things become really serious and someone murders Ava Gardner, one of his beloved hens ... and you don't mess with a fellow's hens! Bestselling author Ian Moore brings his laugh-out-loud, tea-soaked British humor to Death and Croissants, an unputdownable, quirky mystery that gives readers a fascinating puzzle to unravel as they romp through the French countryside alongside an unforgettable cast of characters." -- Back cover.
