Death and Croissants by Ian Moore

 I know better than to be sucked in at a Barnes & Noble sale table, but I fell for this one! I even read the first couple of pages before purchasing, and they were funny and clever... I enjoyed the first few chapters; the author has a good sense of humor, but it soon bored me. I didn't care about the characters even though they were somewhat charming. The milieu was a French B & B, and it should have been fun and charming, but somehow it got old fast for me. By the final few chapters, I didn't really care "whodunnit" and I had to force myself to finish it. Too bad, because the setting and some witty lines were good. Oh well... Plot was entirely lacking and confusing. Not much else to say about this except it's going in the discard pile.
