When Susan Gardiner unexpectedly inherits an old country inn she also inherits a long-lost, distant cousin. Cousin James is drop-dead handsome and very attentive, so it’s not long before romance is in the air. Everything seems to be going Susan’s way— she has reopened the inn as a posh gourmet eatery, and the customers are flocking to it. That is until one of the guests suddenly keels over, the victim of mushroom poisoning. Chief Inspector Henry Tibbett arrives on the scene and we’re off to a delicious Moyes mystery.
