Twice in a Blue Moon: An Inspector Henry Tibbett Mystery (A Henry Holt Mystery)

Rating:
Summary: Workmanlike
Review: 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).
