Publisher's summary

Julia Bird loves the village pub quiz, but it seems one of her teammates won’t make it to the next round alive....

On the first Tuesday of each month, Julia Bird and her Agatha Quizteam teammates take part in Berrywick’s village pub quiz. They take it seriously–what’s the point of playing, after all, if you aren’t in it to win it? But it seems someone connected with the quiz night has taken the competition to a whole new level when Lilian, the local police constable and all-around general-knowledge expert, is found fatally stabbed after the evening’s final round.

With local DI Hayley Gibson stuck home with a broken leg and an incompetent superintendent brought in from the nearby town, it’s up to Julia to make sure the investigation stays focused–whether they like it or not! While the police are convinced that the murderer is linked to Lilian’s professional life, Julia turns her amateur sleuthing eye to suspects much closer to home. Perhaps Lilian’s personal life could have something to do with the dreadful crime?

When another quiz team member is attacked, Julia is finally put on the right track. But what could possibly be important–or dangerous–enough for two attendees of the pub quiz night to meet such foul ends over? Could the culprit really be among them on that busy Tuesday night? As Julia’s race to identify the killer ramps up to desperate heights, she wonders if the murderous spree will ever end?

Perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin, and Betty Rowlands, Murder at the Inn is a brilliantly compelling English cozy mystery.

Great characters and lovely narrator

I love the Julia Bird series! Perfect cozy mysteries and the characters are relatable and interesting. The narrator has a lovely voice and I enjoy listening to her story telling. Plus, there’s all delightful quirky bits with Jake the dog! What’s not to love. Please keep writing the Julia Bird series!

Simple and Charming

This is a lovely series. The plots/mysteries are not particularly difficult to figure out before the conclusion but it doesn’t make the read any less pleasant. Love the reader!

Great mystery

Another good addition to this series. Julia and Sean are growing in their relationship. The village characters remain engaging and the mystery intriguing. So glad I stumbled across this series. Read beautifully by the narrator.

One of the best cozy murder mysteries out there in a series

I absolutely and thoroughly have enjoyed Julia Bird and her cozy little life filled with intrigue, excitement love and cozy murder mystery. The series is so enjoyable. I’m chomping at the bit for the next book to read in the series. The characters and the storyline cohesively all fit together in a fun story, but keeps you entertained and intrigued.

Consistently reliable lead character

I really enjoy that the lead character isn’t always getting into trouble, that she can figure out key pieces of the puzzle without doing something stupid. I like that I can just like her character, that she is respectable and that the other characters respect her.
