Summary:
'Richard is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a B&B in the Vallée de Follet. Nothing ever happens to Richard, and really thats the way he likes it.
Until scandal erupts in the nearby town of Saint-Sauver when its famous restaurant is downgraded from three Michelin stars to two. The restaurant is shamed, the town is in shock and the leading goats cheese supplier drowns himself in one of his own pasteurisation tanks. Or does he?
Valérie dOrçay, who staying at the B&B while house-hunting in the area, isnt convinced that its a suicide. Despite his misgivings, Richard is drawn into Valéries investigation, and finds himself becoming a major player.
Praise for Death and Croissants:
A very funny page-turner. Fantastique! Adam Kay, Comedian and author ofThis is Going to Hurt
'A writer of immense wit and charm.' PaulSinha, ITV's The Chase'Death and Croissantsis a far funnier book than a story about a bloody murder has any right to be.'Josh Widdicombe, BBC'sMock the Week
'This is like two great books in one, a tricksy whodunnit, and a really, really funny story.' Jason Manford
'Ian is one of my favourite writers; this is hilarious and a great mystery too.' Janey Godley
'Good food and a laugh-out-loud mystery. What more could anyone want in these dark times? Mark Billingham
Death and Croissants is such a relentless rollercoaster ride of laughs and twists, it should come with a height restriction and health warning. Matt Forde
Sharp, slick and surprising like the author himself Death and Croissants is the Loire Valleys answer to Murder on the Orient Express. Id marry him tomorrow (Richard, the protagonist; Ian too).' Cally Beaton
Though I disagree with the opinions on muesli and the hen naming system that are in this book, I will let those pass and say that it is funny,pacyand very entertaining!It also has short chapters I find many modern novels take far too long to get to the next chapter, but there's no hanging about here. Robin Ince
'Id never connected the words death and croissants before, but now theyre inextricably linked. Its a rollicking qui-dunnit with as many twists as the Loire itself'. Stephen Clarke, author of 1000 Years of Annoying the French
'Moore's French whodunnit is an engaging caper through the Loire Valley with an expat reluctant hero mixed up with a Maigret-like rural cast, a glamorous heroine and a couple of Mafia killers. It is finely paced, truly funny and written with a wry detachment that conjures up a gentler age of murder mystery.' Charles Bremner
Just like the Loires other great export, Sancerre, Ian Moores prose is reassuringly dry, beautifully constructed, and deeply satisfying. The Follet Valley series is a pleasure youll return to again and again. Marty Wilson, former Australian Comic of the Year
