About this listen

Like your mysteries as sweet as honey but with a real sting in the tail?

Summer 1921

Posie Parker thought she was about to enjoy a restful summer. But this is no ordinary summer holiday....

When famous explorer Alaric Boynton-Dale disappears, Posie uncovers many dark secrets: an aristocratic family torn apart by hatred, a bizarre murder at an English country house, and a cryptic clue left behind by Alaric which is sweet as honey, but deadlier than poison.

In an action-packed case where simply everyone has a motive for wanting Alaric dead, Posie's investigation starts off in the English Cotswolds, takes her through the glamorous South of France, on to the mysterious island of Ortigia in Italy, and then into the Tombs of the Pharaohs in Egypt.

But is she being followed by a cold-blooded killer? And where has Len, her almost-boyfriend, disappeared to?

This is a classic Golden Age of Crime murder mystery which will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey. The Tomb of the Honey Bee is the second book in the delightfully classic English Posie Parker Mystery Series, although the novel can be enjoyed as a standalone story in its own right.

If you love an action-packed historical cozy crime with a feisty protagonist, buy The Tomb of the Honey Bee now.

Better than the average

The plot moved along keeping me interested all the time. It was not all that predictable lots of surprises. I liked the speed and the lack of pointless women’s love gazing. Thank god there was less girl vs boy power. The honey story was interesting. Still easy to follow as an audio so not overly complex which I appreciate in an audiobook

Very easy going and enjoyable.

Loved this story line. Very easy listening and a narrators voice that really suits the story. Just a pleasant murder mystery without the violence, blood and gore. Reminds me of Miss. Marple themes. Will read the entire series.
