The plot When horses and boat dwellers are found strewn and lifeless by the river in the early hours of an autumnal morning, is someone trying to send a message? With Inspector Abley still suspended, amateur sleuth Professor Elizabeth Green steps up to help Sergeant Lemon find out what caused this incident on Stourbridge Common, and whether it was someone trying to poison the horses.
But just as Sergeant Lemon starts to gather evidence, staff at the Institute of Galileo start petty squabbling and Professor Green wonders if these academic jealousies are linked, especially when two live on a houseboat by the Common. Readers who love a traditional English backdrop will enjoy Blood Moon as Cambridge bleeds through every page.
The Series The Cambridge Murder Mysteries are set in the heart of Cambridge, England, featuring a vegan and animal-loving sleuth Elizabeth Green, and her sidekicks Inspector Abley and grandson, Godric. As the series unfolds, we learn more about these characters and their lives.

Charlot's fondness for Cambridge is replicated in her series, which has been described as evocative and authentic of this historic English city.
And what of Professor Elizabeth Green? In her fifties, this female protagonist woman sleuth is quintessentially English. An eccentric professor in her ivory tower, she maintains a sharp wit, yet is flawed by her inability to connect well with people, instead giving off a cold, opinionated and sometimes acerbic air. Though very kind to all animals (dogs, cats and the rest!) - a vegan - and a great gardener, in truth she keeps her friends close, and only lets a few dear people into her world.
Pick up this page-turning whodunnit series in the tradition of Agatha Christie and Miss Marple, Colin Dexter and Inspector Morse or Dorothy Sayers and Lord Peter Wimsey, and you'll get a murder mystery fuelled by poison in the dark alleys of Cambridge today!
