Mord unter Brüdern
»Very British, very witzig – very spannend bis zur letzten Seite.« Kieler Nachrichten
Hotelbesitzerin Honey Driver liest in der Zeitung, dass Casper St. John Gervais, Vorsitzender des Hotelverbands von Bath, tot aufgefunden wurde. Doch Casper lebt! Die Leiche ist sein Halbbruder. Casper bittet Honey zu ermitteln. Aber ihr Freund Chiefinspector Steve Doherty ist entschieden dagegen. Er hält die Sache, in die sich Honey da einlässt, für viel zu gefährlich, und den blonden Schönling, der neuerdings immer mal in ihrer Nähe auftaucht, mag er gar nicht.
Der neue Bestseller von Jean Goodhind – der Meisterin des britischen Kriminalromans.

This story exceeded my expectations. It was my first visit to this character and I was charmed. The author has brought characters, plot and location together in a storyline that is smart and engaging. I highly recommend this book for a pleasurable read.

Let me summarise what I read into this. Author is sick of these characters and decides to conveniently come up with a way of never writing of them again. The actual plot isn't that in truth, it's just a rather more unlikely tale than the rest of the series. Author does seem have forgotten some details of the back story which is annoying for a binge reader with a retentive memory, but isn't material to the plot. So perfectly readable but to me came over as "I'll collate all my notes for this series not yet used, stick them all in this one last book and be done with them". Not that they tidy up neatly, half the characters stop being mentioned with no update on them. Actually, reflecting on it, I'm wondering if it was half-written, abandoned, and someone else finished it, just to get it out there.

I’ve just finished all 13 books in the Honey Driver series. Cute cozy type mysteries. Easy reads. My one concern is that there are inconsistencies from book to book, and in the final few the editing did not seem to be done as well as in the first ones.
But overall I enjoyed sharing Honey’s life for a while. Good humor in the books, as well as interesting characters and mysteries that caught and held your attention.

Der Abschluss einer guten cozy mystery series gimpfelt im letzten Teil der Serie in einem schlechten James Bond Verschnitt. Alle Charaktere der Serie tauchen noch einmal auf und verabschieden sich vom Leser.
So gut die vorigen Bücher waren, umso enttäuschender der letzte überladene Teil.

I lost my patience with that foolish headstrong Honey Driver
I was almost hoping Tarot Man would succeed. She would never have let her Mobile phone run out. Giving her mother the wine glass was ridiculous if she was a true sleuth.
Man would succeed!!

Eine völlig hirnrissige Story, holprig erzählt, unausgegoren, logik- und spannungsfrei. Die Hauptakteurin bleibt blass, ihre Motivation schleierhaft.

Murder in the family
Very good edge of the seat book. Really sad it's the last one ever. Maybe there could be a new chalet with Honey and Steve

Murder Runs in the Family
This was by far great storyline with murders after Honey. I couldn't stop reading this. I'm hoping this isn't the end of Honey and Steve??

Brotherly love and a dangerous game
This was the darkest book of the Honey Driver series and a fitting end to the alternative career of the erstwhile owner of the Green River Hotel. At times the action was farcical and way beyond belief. At other tims it still held the cosy crime prerequisite that everything would come good. Ms Goodchild has neatly wound up her characters lives and has ended the possibility of further such stories. I shall miss them as a reliable go-to easy read but am sure that more books will follow in a different vein. I wish her well.

The final book in this series, and it ended on a high note.
A man buried in mud is identified by Caspar St John Gervais (after confirming that it was not he himself, as originally thought) as his brother Tarquin. He asks Honey to visit the family estate, which is now a wild animal park, complete with lions, to learn who has murdered his brother.
Honey learns that her late father was a British spy who was responsible for the death of a former Oxford classmate. Although the killer known as the Tarot man is now dead, it would appear that his son is carrying on the family tradition of murder.
