Murder at the Blue Boar Inn — B. Eugene Ellison

Shortly after midnight, the blood-soaked body of Sean Makers, the owner of the Blue Boar Inn was found dead; he had been murdered. These are the facts; the question is who did it.

In the latest Jim Kirkwood adventure/mystery novel, Murder at the Blue Boar Inn, Jim, a self-indulgent, self-confident, and at times unsympathetic, connoisseur of human nature finds himself endeavoring to uncover the identity a cold-blooded killer, or killers from a cast of employees and patrons.


Murder at the Blue Boar Inn is an Agatha Christie style waltz of suspects, ranging from a beautiful and mysterious woman, whom Jim almost met on the train, to the drunken prime suspect. In Murder at the Blue Boar Inn, Jim Kirkwood must overcome deception, and lies as he interlaces the unrelated into the "fabric of truth" and uncovers the murderer.
