Death and Croissants by Ian Moore introduces us to Richard, a middle-aged Englishman running 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 Valerie, persuades a reluctant Richard to join her in investigating the disappearance.

Richard remains a dazed passenger in the case until things become really serious when someone murders Ava Gardner, one of his beloved hens... and you don't mess with a fellow's hens!

This unputdownable mystery is set in rural France and brought to life by TV/radio regular and bestselling author Ian Moore. It's perfect for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club.
