Death and Croissants by Ian Moore

Richard Ainsworth is a 53-year-old English man who has made his home in the fictional Val de Follet, running a quiet B&B where nothing happens, until the day one of his elderly guests goes missing and he, along with a mysterious and glamorous guest, Valerie D'Orcay find a bloody handprint on the wall. Will this staid and sensible B&B owner make the most of this opportunity to seek adventure? Will the mismatched couple manage to solve the mystery? You know I won't tell you everything, but I will tell you what I think of Moore's 2021 cosy crime debut. Featured episodes Cosy Crime Playlist Illuminae Featured links The Sparks Trilogy by Kerry Law
