A la Mod” by Ian Moore is a charming and funny novel that takes a look at the author’s life in rural France. As would be expected from reading work composed by a comedian, there are plenty of laughs, giggles and sniggers as he lightheartedly takes a look into his life. To get to the bottom of things, Valérie Dorçay and Richard offer catering services to the hastily resumed production. There they discover that the vanity, duplicity and murder of an 18th century French court is nothing compared to that of a 21st century film set, with more heads yet to roll. Richard Ainsworth's French B&B has been taken over by a production company shooting a historical film at the Château de Valençay. But everything grinds to a halt with the sudden passing of an actor under suspicious circumstances.

Ian Moore’s “Death and Croissants” is a humorous cozy set in rural France that tells the story of Richard Ainsworth, a British expat. He lives in the small village of Val de Follet that is nested in a quiet corner of the French region of Loire, where he owns and runs a bed and breakfast. The work was intended to be the first of many humorous works that the comedian turned author has been writing ever since. He had previously written “Cest Modnifique” and “A la Mod” that are comedic stories of how he moved to rural France with his family as a middle aged comedian that could not fit in.The third book in the The Times -bestselling murder mystery series, by leading TV/radio comedian Ian Moore!

He loves to consider himself European rather than British, and this is what made him become a French citizen. He is also the author of “Playing the Martyr,” an independently published work set in the same small town as his other novels. Unlike his other novels, this work is about a middle aged British man who is the proprietor of a bed and breakfast establishment in rural France.

He introduces himself as a mod that needs to dress a certain way which means his clothing is usually very different from that of the rural folk among whom he lives.
