Ian Moore writes hilarious prose, and this was a highly enjoyable sequel to 'Death and Croissants' bringing back all my favourite characters, developing the romantic tension, and the taboo humour. However, with this story I was certainly more interested in the character relationships and less so in the mystery, causing me to zone out during chapters about the case. Similarly, there were too many characters involved in the murder for it to be a light-hearted read; it certainly requires a little concentration. The ending felt a little sudden too, meaning this was a little disappointing and inconclusive, perhaps there will be a third story? I am not sure I would read it, but that doesn't disregard the comedy and characters which made the story fun.
