MURDER BY LAMPSHADE an absolutely gripping cozy mystery novel (Honey Driver Murder Mysteries Book 5)
By JEAN G. GOODHIND
MEET HONEY DRIVER. HOTEL MANAGER. WIDOWED MUM. CRIME SOLVER?
Originally published as Deadly Lampshades.
When Honey Driver decides to give the Green River Hotel a makeover, she doesn’t envisage her interior designer Philippe Fabiere getting choked to death with an antique lavatory flush handle.
His body is found in a lavish guest bathroom bolted from the inside. And there are traces of deadly nightshade in his system.
Philippe’s business partner looks set to inherit his estate, but there are others keen to muscle in on the business, including smouldering architect Ferdinand Olsen.
Could one of them be the killer?
Honey has her suspicions, but she also has a coach-load of new guests to contend with. Will she be able to get to the bottom of the mystery before anyone else is killed?
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. Dams 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.
