Riotous Romp....
More mayhem and madness in the second of the Follet Valley Mystery series. Restaurant woes, scurrilous scandal and goats cheese shenanigans abound as matters go from bad to worse in a small town and, whilst nothing much ever happens to Richard, he finds himself dragged into a potential murder case. Of course he does - and this can only mean one thing…Chaos. Wholly engaging and wildly entertaining, once again, as humour dances off every page. A riotous romp.

This is the second book in this series and and again is a nice short read which I was pleased with. It isn't the real thriller type of book but it is fun and a bit funny and still was somewhat mysterious.

The book continues to provide quirky characters that I like, a great setting and the food theme always gets me and makes me want to read. An easy and quick read that gave me some entertainment and enjoyment and I still look forward to seeing how this series progresses.

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

The second installment in a fun and light cozy mystery series.

I liked the first book in the series better than this one, but the vibes are the same and Richard remains a likable protagonist.

The quality of the mystery here is significantly lower than the first. It’s unnecessarily convoluted and the whole “cheese scandal” aspect of it just seemed stupid rather than (as I expect was intended) clever and cheeky.

But for the most part the humor is there, and the setting and sense of place remain excellent. I’m a bit over the whole obstacle of the estranged wife, but I do like Valérie and can’t help but think these books will be more enjoyable once Richard fully moves on.
