The Tomb of the Honey Bee: A Cozy Historical Murder Mystery

Written by L.B. Hathaway

Narrated by Clare Wille

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. 'The Tomb of the Honey Bee' is the second book in the delightfully classic English Posie Parker Mystery Series.

Reviews for The Tomb of the Honey Bee

[Elizabeth Barnard · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Enjoyed it very much. A good twisty light read. Try it

[Stacy Carlson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Kept you guessing the whole time, worth the read (or listen ?)

[ellyd2 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I absolutely love the detective in this series. More please.

[Cinda · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very good story. A classic who dunnit with suspects all around.

[Jayne Dawson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

An interesting story with many twists and turns. The only thing that just slightly spoiled things for me was the use of modern day expressions, such as "retail therapy" which I am sure were not used in the 1920s.

[Esther Hoole · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The best of Hathaway lve read so far. Many places making it interesting. But stories are in the end many little stories thrown together. Lacks strong coherence.

[Mari Melting · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Enjoyable cozy but there is a lot going on. I’ll be happy to read the next book.

[Anne Wrightwell · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Entertaining but has quite a few historical inaccuracies and some of the plot is not very believable.

[Gloriana · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really liked the first book in this series. But I loved this second one! As sure as “bread is bread” I want to go where Posie goes!
