Review from La Librairie du Grimoire Ancien

Murders and Moustaches, the first volume in Gustave's investigations by Chantal Varnier, is a delightful cozy mystery that offers a fresh take on the genre's codes. Self-published, this novel follows the tradition of British cozy mysteries while adding an irresistible French touch with its picturesque Breton setting.

The author masters the art of the cozy mystery: a village where everyone knows everyone, secrets hidden behind appearances, an endearing heroine freshly arrived from Paris, and above all Gustave, a detective cat with piercing eyes and sharp whiskers. The tone is light, mischievous, and full of tenderness, with a dose of humor that makes reading addictive.

What distinguishes this novel is its lack of graphic violence and its comforting atmosphere, perfect for a fireside read with a cup of tea. Varnier creates a world where mystery coexists with sweetness, where suspects are as numerous as Sunday croissants. An ideal read for fans of cozy mysteries, clever cats, and charming Breton villages full of secrets.
