What could be more delightful than a long-forgotten relative who dies and leaves you a tidbit in his will? How about if that tidbit is in fact a charming country pub, and that pub is now yours—lock, stock, and barrels of beer?Susan Gardiner is delighted, even when it becomes clear that the establishment has a line-up of regulars, not all of them as endearing as one might perhaps prefer. No, she doesn’t love all her new customers, but she certainly didn’t intend for one of them to be poisoned by a bad batch of mushrooms! The outlook is dire for both Susan and the Blue Moon…until Inspector Henry Tibbett steps in. He and Emmy just want a spot of lunch, but they are, as ever, willing to take on more than they had bargained for.

A special treat for foodies, Blue Moon is also a charming, immensely satisfying close to the Henry Tibbett series.
