Death and Croissants by Ian Moore

<p>Richard Ainsworth is a 53-year-old English man who has made his home in the fictional Val de Follet, running a quiet B&amp;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&amp;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. </p><p>Featured episodes </p><p><a href="https://feeds.captivate.fm/being-bookish/cosy-crime/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cosy Crime Playlist</a> </p><p><a href="https://being-bookish.captivate.fm/episode/bb-s04e43" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Illuminae</a> </p><p>Featured links </p><p><a href="https://kerrylawbooks.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Sparks Trilogy by Kerry Law</a> </p>
