DI Beatrice Stubbs #7-9
The Beatrice Stubbs Boxset Three
Read yourself away with another fast-paced trio of Beatrice adventures in a set.
Beatrice Stubbs, now retired from Scotland Yard, doesn't believe in slowing down. And so her constant appetite for justice attracts new clients from every corner of Euroland. But will the private eye remember that she is no longer a cop?
Snow Angel: "Old secrets, new lies"
Visit Devon in Winter, where a tight-knit community of quirky villagers mourn the death of a local celebrity. Or do they? Beatrice is astonished when she discovers almost everybody hated him...
Honey Trap: "Chaos and order is a matter of taste"
A chef is dead, and secret recipes of the Neapolitan gourmet temple are served across the continent. Beatrice and friends arrive in southern Italy to set a bittersweet trap for the murderous mole.
Black Widow: "Beware the female of the species"
Chasing a ruthless clan from Budapest to Paris and Bordeaux, Beatrice and her unexpected assistant bite off more than they can chew. Who hides behind the facade of haute couture, grand hotels and perfumeries - spinning a deadly net ready to contract any moment?
If you enjoy LJ Ross, Andrea Camilleri or Martin Walker, you'll love Boxset Three.

I love this series! I am going to buy and read the other four books. Beatrice Stubbs took me around the world, and I was glad to go there with her. The Detective turned Private Investigation was one of the most interesting characters I have met while reading a book.
The storylines, plots, settings, and characters were well-developed and believable. I bought the first three books in the series on audio. I was captivated and had to continue reading the series.
I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I will just say that it is a great read and well worth the effort!

A great discover
I happened upon the Beatrice Stubbs series while looking for something new to read and I am glad I did. Stubbs is retiring from her job as a DCI and looking for something to do. Of course she got caught up in solving mysteries flying all over Europe from her town outside of London. Interesting characters, some humor, and travel details. My kind of book.

I read all 12 of the Beatrice Stubbs books and enjoyed each one. Beatrice is portrayed very realistically and the books move along fairly quickly.

Well done, J.J. Marsh, you did it again. My only disappointment with this set of three was that it came to an end. Roll on Boxset Four....
