511 1  Read by John Higgins. 
520    'A very funny page-turner. Fantastique!' Adam Kay, 
       Comedian and author of This is Going to Hurt 'A writer of 
       immense wit and charm.' Paul Sinha, ITV's The Chase THE 
       FIRST NOVEL IN THE ENTHRALLING FOLLET VALLEY SERIES, BY TV
       /RADIO REGULAR IAN MOORE Richard is a middle-aged 
       Englishman who runs 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 enigmatic 
       Valérie, persuades a reluctant Richard to join her in 
       investigating the disappearance. Richard remains a dazed 
       passenger in the case until things become really serious 
       and someone murders Ava Gardner, one of his beloved hens 
       ... and you don't mess with a fellow's hens! Unputdownable
       mystery set in rural France, by TV/radio regular and 
       bestselling author Ian Moore - perfect for fans of Richard
       Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, Julia Chapman, or M.C. 
       Beaton. Praise for Death and Croissants: 'Death and 
       Croissants is a far funnier book than a story about a 
       bloody murder has any right to be.' Josh Widdicombe, BBC's
       Mock 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 Valley's answer to Murder on the 
       Orient Express. I'd 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, pacy and 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 '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, 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 Loire's other 
       great export, Sancerre, Ian Moore's prose is reassuringly 
       dry, beautifully constructed, and
