    The Chris Honeysett Mysteries Series

    About this series

    The case of a missing supermarket employee takes the British PI and penniless artist from Bath to the Island of Corfu in this “puzzling . . . dizzy” mystery (Publishers Weekly).
     
    Chris Honeysett, an uninspired artist and lone proprietor of Aqua Investigations, leaps at the chance to leave his cold and damp rural cottage in Bath, England for the cozy warmth of Corfu, Greece. The job comes at the behest of a supermarket magnate whose most valued team member, Kyla Biggs, has disappeared while on holiday on the sunny Greek island. All Honeysett has to do is bring his lightest Mediterranean summer wear, learn a little Greek, and find her. What could possibly go wrong?
     
    For starters, he looks up his old art teacher, Morva, who seems to have a stalker intent on killing her. On top of that, locals go strangely quiet when it comes to Kyla. For Honeysett, this all-expense-paid “vacation” is looking more dangerous by the minute. But for readers—“who wouldn’t want to spend a fortnight in Corfu with the droll Honeysett and his chums?” (Kirkus Reviews).

      The English PI with “a biting wit” returns to dig up the dirty secrets of a celebrity archaeologist in this delightful mystery series (Kirkus Reviews).   Being a bodyguard isn’t Chris Honeysett’s thing. He’s more of a destitute artist type. But he’s also an out-of-work private investigator working from a tiny cottage in Bath. So when he’s offered a gig babysitting Guy Middleton, he figures a check is a check. Famous for his archaeology-based reality show, Middleton has been receiving death threats. And his latest shoot—uncovering the treasures of a local historic mansion—might give his stalker fans easier access than normal. Could someone really want him dead? As Honeysett gets to the know the haughty, disagreeable star, he begins to wonder who wouldn’t.   But the menace only escalates when more than Roman remains are unearthed on the mansion grounds. Now it’s Honeysett’s job to connect the crimes of the past with those promised for the near future.

      In this series debut, an art school teaching gig turns into a high-stakes murder investigation and a “fun-filled romp through the art-strewn countryside” (Booklist).   Against his better judgement, laidback painter and private investigator Chris Honeysett has accepted a role as tutor at the Bath Arts Academy and agreed to take part in an exhibition. But preparations are disrupted by a series of peculiar events: a naked, wild-haired figure is glimpsed running through the woods; strange symbols are carved onto trees and gateposts; a metal sculpture takes on a mysterious life of its own.   The incidents, which are initially assumed to be student pranks, escalate in menace, until one of Honeysett’s fellow exhibitors lies dead—and Honeysett finds himself the prime murder suspect. It’s clear that someone is trying to frame him. But who? And why?   Full charming local color and eccentric yet believable characters, Indelible is a “suspenseful, well-plotted” chapter in a British cozy mystery series that’s “a lot of fun” (Publishers Weekly).   “A jam-packed Hieronymus Bosch canvas filled with the good, the bad and the just plain wacky.” —Kirkus Reviews
