Crime and Croissants — Susan Kiernan-Lewis

Care for a Little Murder with that Sweet Roll?

Jules Hooker is doing her best to adjust to the new normal of a world without electricity, electronics, cars or the chance to return home. Stranded in the charming but provincial village of Chabanel wasn't terrible until Jules discovers Aix-en-Provence and decides that the big city lights -- even when they've gone out in the apocalypse -- are much preferable to the countryside.
Of course with a big city comes big city crimes and when a fellow American is accused of murdering a popular pastry chef in Aix, Jules knows she has to help.
Unfortunately tracking a dangerous killer when you don't know the language -- or the French people themselves -- soon has Jules bumbling into one dangerous situation after another.
All the wonderful pastries aside, will this be lights out for Jules too?
