Summary
Simon Kirby-Jones Mysteries #4 From the New York Times bestselling author of the Cat in the Stacks Mystery Series, a traditional British village cozy mystery series…with a twist! Blitherington, the grande dame mother of Simon Kirby-Jones's handsome trusty assistant, Giles, has just sold one of her meadows to a London businessman who plans to turn the land into a lucrative tourist attraction. But first he has to figure out how to oust a club zealously dedicated to medieval reenactments. Since Henry Baker, the original "king" of the group is vehemently opposed to the idea of a tourist attraction, he is expelled for a more amenable leader, restaurant owner Luke d'Amboise. But when Henry is found poisoned by a fig pastry (recipe included!), Simon discovers a bitter rivalry within the medieval players…could it be enough to kill a king?!? Simon already has his hands full discovering who is at the bottom of this coup d'etat-when Tristan Lovelace, Simon's very charming former boyfriend visits Snupperton Mumsley. Will Simon succumb to Tristan's charisma or will he finally soften towards Giles Blitherington, his always loyal personal assistant?
