The Honey Driver Murder Mystery

An old friend of Honey Driver's is unfortunate enough to have their birthday at Hallowe?en, and can't resist making it a fancy dress party. Honey had planned for DCI Doherty, her policeman boyfriend, to go with her; he might have done if he wasn?t more than a bit peeved that she smashed up his sports car. Dressed appropriately, Honey attends the party at Moss End Hotel alone. The food is awful, the booze practically non-existent, and the complaints are loud and clear. The owners, Mr and Mrs Crook ? amateurs who think themselves better than the professionals ? are nowhere to be found and all the doors are locked. Once the revellers manage to open the doors, the Crooks are found, but are in no condition to deal with complaints. They're dead ? murdered ? and Honey and Doherty team up once more to investigate.

A sense of justice is felt amongst Bath hoteliers when an unpopular hotel reviewer is found dead stuffed inside a giant teddy at the bottom of an open grave. As the Hotels' Association police liaison officer, Honey Driver is expected to help solve his murder - even though she's something of a suspect herself. On top of that, she's lumbered with a distant friend's incontinent dog - and when it gets kidnapped, she hopes it doesn't come back . . .

Honey Driver agrees to join a friend on a ghost walk around Bath. There are no ghosts, but death is just around the corner . . .

This is a mystery novel about shocking murders that take place during one week at Paradise Palms, a retirement community in Hawaii. The book is part mystery, part irreverent social commentary, and fascinating Hawaiiana. The narrator is Grace Hill, an 84-year-old resident of the Palms. She and her Clue Crew-three sharp and funny ladies-with the help of two Hawaiian policemen solve the mysterious deaths of five elderly residents. The 'week in hell' culminates when Grace discovers the naked body of a man at the bottom of the swimming pool. Among the murder suspects are the Palms' head chef, his wife, the sous chef, a saleswoman, a swimming pool cleaner, and even Grace. As the author raises the lid on retirement home living, beware, there may be an unpleasant odor.
