Entertaining, Easy Read
I'm a huge fan of British murder mysteries, so I suppose I'm biased about this genre, but I must admit I love this book. It's quite an easy, quick read, but I find it fully engrossing.

This review is from: Twice in a Blue Moon: An Inspector Henry Tibbett Mystery (A Henry Holt Mystery) (Paperback)
The premise of this book had possibilities--young women inherits derelict pub in an Essex village and transforms it into a highly popular gourmet restaurant. Her livelihood and her life are threatened after two patrons are poisoned by lethal mushrooms slipped into their food.As I say, the plot kept me involved as did the tough-minded heroine, but ultimately the book dragged by focussing on a twenty-year old crime. Also, I did not buy the ease with which the heroine fell for and submitted to the two men who showed a romantic interest. If you need something quick and undemanding for a plane ride, this would be an OK choice but I wouldn't really seek it out. (I got my copy on the FREE BOOKS shelf of our local library).

This review is from: Twice in a Blue Moon: An Inspector Henry Tibbett Mystery (A Henry Holt Mystery) (Paperback)
I'm a huge fan of British murder mysteries, so I suppose I'm biased about this genre, but I must admit I love this book. It's quite an easy, quick read, but I find it fully engrossing. Fans of Henry Tibbet may not care for this particular book because he's only a sideline character; this book focuses primarily on a young heroine who has inherited an estate from a deceased family member. The plot is simple but engaging, and entirely worth reading. If you liked Death Warmed Up or Many Deadly Returns, this one is sure to delight.
