Death and Croissants

(2021)
(The first book in the Follet Valley Mystery series)
A novel by

 
 
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 this book

"Good food and a laugh-out-loud mystery. What more could anyone want in these dark times?" - Mark Billingham

"I’d never connected the words 'death' and 'croissants' before, but now they’re inextricably linked. It’s a rollicking qui-dunnit with as many twists as the Loire itself." - Stephen Clarke
