I’m delighted to welcome a returning Helen Golden to the blog with her new book, A Cocktail to Die For. #bookreview #cosymystery

Here’s the blurb:

Cocktails, chaos, and an unexpected twist. Can Perry and his hens unveil the truth before time runs out?

Death at Prestigious Hotel and Spa, Chasingham House

We are hearing reports that a young woman has been found dead at Chasingham House, the exclusive venue in the Cotswolds. She has not been named, and the cause of death is unknown at this time. This will no doubt cast a cloud over the bachelor weekend being hosted there by Lady Beatrice (36), the Countess of Rossex, for her business partner Perry Juke (34) ahead of his wedding to bestselling author and celebrity chef Simon Lattimore (40). Also staying at Chasingham House are top models Camile Redmaine (35) and Mel Parks (35), who are celebrating newly-single Cammy’s birthday with a group of friends.

When one of the birthday girls is found dead in her room, it’s clear Bea plans for her, Perry, and their friends to chill around the pool, have a few treatments, and generally relax, seem to have gone down the drain. When the local police are quick to dismiss the death as an accident, Bea is determined to help investigate anyway, along with the rest of Perry’s party.

Can Perry and his hens catch the killer before the weekend is over and the trail goes cold?

My Review

A Cocktail to Die For is a fabulous addition to the Right Royal Cozy Mystery series.

Taking us away from any of the more usual ‘royal’ residences, we are in the Cotswolds, attending Perry’s stag do. But of course, our intrepid gang don’t seem to be able to go anywhere without someone turning up dead.

Bea, Perry and Adler try to solve the mystery of who and how our victim might have been murdered while contending with an officious and ineffectual local detective.

As always, these stories are well-plotted and engaging. While a few of the main characters might be missing from this tale, Adler as a main character more than compensates. It’s also reassuring to know that now the ‘big’ mystery has been solved which has rumbled through many of the previous books, this series has still go ‘legs’, and I hope there will be many more books.

Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended.

Check out my reviews for the other books in this fabulous series.

Meet the author

Hello. I’m Helen Golden. I write British contemporary cozy whodunnits with a hint of humour. I live in small village in Lincolnshire in the UK with my husband, my step-daughter, her two cats, our two dogs, sometimes my step-son, and our tortoise.

I used to work in senior management, but after my recent job came to a natural end I had the opportunity to follow my dreams and start writing. It’s very early in my life as an author, but so far I’m loving it.

It’s crazy busy at our house, so when I’m writing I retreat to our caravan (an impulsive lockdown purchase) which is mostly parked on our drive. When I really need total peace and quiet, I take it to a lovely site about 15 minutes away and hide there until my family runs out of food or clean clothes
