(The tenth book in the Honey Driver series)A novel by Jean G Goodhind
LOVE MISS MARPLE? THEN MEET HONEY DRIVER!
Originally published as Blood and Broomsticks.
A party ending with a slice of fresh murder . . . ?
It’s the spookiest night of the year and Honey Driver dresses up as Morticia Addams to go to the Halloween birthday party of one of her oldest friends at the Moss End Hotel.
Alas, the party is a disaster — under-catered, overcrowded and full of other Morticias, including the hostess.
Mr and Mrs Crook, the owners, are nowhere to be seen. Then the guests find they have been locked inside the hotel. Once the revellers manage to escape through the French windows, the Crooks are finally discovered.
But they’re in no condition to deal with complaints . . .
Fans of Faith Martin, Jane Adams, Frances Evesham, M.C. Beaton, Clare Chase or Jeanne M. Dams will love this addictive cozy mystery!
MEET HONEY DRIVER
As the boss at a Bath hotel, Honey Driver is in charge one day and washing dishes the next. As a widowed mum, she’s balancing mothering an increasingly challenging teenage daughter alongside a new and budding relationship with local police officer, DI Steve Doherty. As the police liaison for the Bath Hotels Association, she’s supposed to be staying out of trouble . . .
READERS LOVE JEAN G. GOODHIND:
“Honey’s earnest, charming quirkiness, her sometimes ribald humor, the zingy ripostes that pepper the dialogue, and the detailed descriptions of one of England’s loveliest cities will appeal to ardent Anglophiles and British cozy fans alike.” Booklist (USA)
“The kick-off to Goodhind’s new mystery series — fast moving with a likeable heroine and an impeccably rendered Bath background . . .” Kirkus Reviews
“Quirky characters and intriguing goings-on in my favourite city . . . an absolute treat!” bestselling author Jill Mansell
