Official synopsis Publisher
MOVE OVER MISS MARPLE, THERE’S A NEW AMATEUR SLEUTH IN TOWN.
Glowing candles, serene music, a relaxing mud treatment . . . and a dead body. Honey is on the case!
Honey Driver is asked to go undercover by her police inspector boyfriend Steve to help solve the recent and grisly drowning of a woman at the local spa. She has no idea she is diving headlong into her most baffling mystery yet.
The victim is the Lady Macrottie — a distinguished local aristocrat found fully submerged in a mud bath.
The staff at the spa all have solid alibis, and even Lady Macrottie’s husband — set to inherit her crumbling estate — seems innocent.
The only lead in the case is a mysterious scruffy man seen in the area just before the murder, but with no way to trace him, Honey and Steve are truly stumped.
Then a guest at Honey’s own hotel is found dead under what appear to be suspicious circumstances. Now it’s become personal . . .
Fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin, Janet Evanovitch, The Thursday Murder Club, Simon Brett, Frances Evesham, M.C. Beaton, T.E. Kinsey, Clare Chase or Jeanne M. Dams will be hooked by this addictive cozy mystery series!
