Description
A witty, wine-soaked cozy mystery for fans of Richard Osman, Agatha Raisin, and anyone who prefers their murders with a splash of charm and a hen named Ava Gardner.
Welcome to the Loire Valley: home to rolling vineyards, sleepy villages… and the occasional dead body.
Richard Ainsworth wanted nothing more than quiet days running his B&B, rewatching classic films, and avoiding confrontation. But when a guest vanishes—leaving behind a bloody handprint and a very dead chicken—his peaceful life is upended in the most ridiculous way.
Armed with only film trivia, anxious instincts, and an exasperatingly glamorous French sidekick, Richard must stumble through a mystery that’s as absurd as it is addictive.
Death and Croissants is the first in the bestselling Follet Valley Mysteries— a cozy crime series full of oddball suspects, unpredictable twists, and sly, irresistible wit.
Praise for Death and Croissants:
“A fast-paced, witty story for those who enjoy dry British humor.” —Library Journal
“Laugh-out-loud caper.” —Shelf Awareness, Starred Review
