Last Orders at the Star and Sixpence: feel-good fiction set in the perfect village pub!

Written by Holly Hepburn

Narrated by Karen Cass

Ice-cold drinks, summer sun and colourful characters – welcome to the perfect village pub!
 
Nestled in the quiet countryside sits the cosy village of Little Monkham, home of The Star and Sixpence, a renovated pub owned by sisters Sam and Nessie. As the locals welcome the new season, it appears that change is afoot in their tiny community, and not all of it for the better . . .
 
Nessie is moving in with her boyfriend, leaving Sam alone in the pub. But with the arrival of new chef Gabriel causing a flutter among the women of the village, it seems that Sam might not be so lonely after all. Having just recently come out of a relationship, Sam’s attraction to Gabe is inconvenient, but that’s the least of her worries when an unexpected visitor arrives at the pub, determined to stir up trouble.
 
As Gabe and Sam grow closer, Little Monkham’s latest arrival threatens to reveal a secret that will turn more than one world upside down. Can Sam and Nessie work through the fall out, or is it really last orders at The Star and Sixpence?
 
The brand new novel from Holly Hepburn, author of A Year at the Star and Sixpence, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan.

'Like the dream pub landlady who always knows exactly what you want, Holly Hepburn has created the most delightful welcome to what promises to be a brilliant series, in the first Star and Sixpence. The sisters are warm and intriguing, the neighbours are (mostly!) friendly and the gossip is utterly addictive.

Reviews for Last Orders at the Star and Sixpence

[richjj · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The reading was very good, the story was decent, but I did not like the way facts were repeated as though the chapters were episodes in a soap opera. It was as though the author thought the reader would forget previously stated info that was important to the story.

[Kathy Geyer · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Good characters and enjoyable setting. I don’t want to spoil the plot so I’ll just say I felt a little frustrated with things being a bit obvious, and the resolution of the problems towards the end of the story seemed underwhelming. I would also agree with another reviewer who commented that there are recaps of what is happening at points in the story that seem odd- Almost as if it was a review of things you would get if you got it chapter by chapter each week. It is nicely narrated, so it’s pleasant to listen to if you are looking for a easy light read.
