Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

Hilarious

A charming mystery revolving around an English expat running a B & B in France with brilliant English sarcastic humor woven throughout.

Fun, funny, witty

This book is a delight. Good mystery, wonderful characters. Ian Moore - please keep writing, and thank you!

narrator

Hire a pro. I'm sure if I wrote a book I would feel only I could get the voices right. I get why authors would want to narrate, but its a mistake. Some get it right, Neil Gaiman comes to mind, but most don't.
Moore did ok, but I could hear the sound of "I've read this 1000 times" in the delivery. The engineering could use some work too. So, the story, I may have been able to get into but the narration kept from going past chapter 7 or 8. Pay the pros, they can make a bad book okay and a good one great!

Great Book - please make another recording

A wonderful book full of great humor. I really enjoyed it. Read by the author. The author did their best, but a recording by a professional actor would elevate this book so much more.

uproarious fun

take a vacation from the world and laugh and laugh and you will feel so much better. I did.
