About the book

About Murder Bed & Breakfast

MEET HONEY DRIVER. HOTEL OWNER. WIDOWED MUM. CRIME SOLVER? Originally published as Something in the Blood. Honey Driver isn’t sure about becoming the new police liaison for the Bath Hotels Association — especially when DS Steve Doherty is her opposite number. Yes, he’s good-looking, but he’s also arrogant and uninterested in partnering with “Bath’s answer to Miss Marple”. But, Honey tells herself, nothing ever happens in pleasant, safe Bath. Then an American tourist goes missing. And washes up dead on the riverbank, within sight of the famous Pulteney Bridge. The tourist was staying at Ferny Down Bed and Breakfast across town, run by Cora Herbert. Cora’s shifty ex has just come out of prison. The last thing she needs is a dead guest to ruin her reputation. Honey has her suspicions about who’s behind the American’s death. DS Doherty doesn’t want to know, so Honey plunges into her own investigation. And then Cora Herbert’s new husband is found dead in their garden. Can Honey uncover a killer before any more Ferny Down residents turn up dead? Fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin, Janet Evanovitch, The Thursday Murder Club, Simon Brett, Frances Evesham, M.C. Beaton, Rhys Bowen, Clare Chase or Jeanne M. Damms will be hooked by this addictive character-driven 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 resisting her mother’s match-making attempts and trying to be mum and dad to her teenage daughter. 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
