The Case of the Crumbling Croissant offers a charming, if somewhat predictable, entry into the cozy mystery genre. The central murder plot of Mr. Abernathy is well-conceived, but the pacing occasionally falters, especially in the middle sections. Agnes Pendelton is a wonderfully realized protagonist, her librarian's intellect a perfect tool for unraveling secrets. The author paints a vivid picture of Little Puddleton, though some of the quirky villagers felt a little too familiar. While the romance subplot with Emily provided a pleasant counterpoint, it sometimes felt a bit secondary to Agnes's investigation. The resolution felt earned, though I had guessed the culprit a little earlier than Agnes. Sami liam successfully creates an atmosphere of gentle intrigue, perfect for a relaxing read. The exploration of Agnes's past grief added a nice layer of emotional depth to the narrative. For fans of traditional British cozies, this book delivers a satisfying, if not groundbreaking, experience. It's a solid choice for a quiet afternoon, offering a familiar comfort with a touch of suspense. The mystery itself is engaging enough to keep you turning pages, even with its occasional narrative lulls. Ultimately, it’s a book that aims to entertain, and it largely succeeds in doing so.
