Death and Croissants

By Ian Moore
 
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 hand print 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.
