Richard is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a B&B in the Val de Follett. Nothing ever happens to Richard and really that's the way he likes it. Until scandal erupts in the nearby town of Saint-Sauver when the famous restaurant is downgraded from three Michelin stars to two. The restaurant is shamed, the town is in shock and the leading goat's cheese supplier drowns himself in one of his own pasteurisation tanks. Or does he? Valerie D'Orcay, who is staying at the B&B while house-hunting in the area, isn't convinced that it's a suicide. Despite his misgivings, Richard is drawn into Valerie's investigation, and finds himself becoming a major player.

Given to me by a non-bookcrossing friend.

Because it was set in France I thought this could be one of the books the tv series "Murder in Provence" was based on but no it is not a serious whodunit. It is more of a cosy mystery/comedy novel and actually reminded me of "'Allo, 'Allo" in places. I could certainly imagine it as a tv series and it was completely different to my previous spooky read.

Received safe and sound and dropping onto mount tbr
thanks :)

Well, I went to read it and can't find it anywhere. Maybe I left it in France in the summer ? I am marking it as travelling and if it turns up I'll journal again.
