Hurray for Hannah Dennison's newest novel MURDER AT HONEYCHURCH HALL!

This is the first in the series and I must say I cannot wait for the next one. An English mystery that has you wondering what adventures the characters will be into next. With so many possibilities, Dennison has a great start to the storyline that can continue with all the secrets this humorous bunch has to hide.

Kat Stanford, who is somewhat a celebrity in a way that she wished she wasn't, goes to visit her newly widowed mother in an English carriage house that she recently bought. Kat is upset with her mother because after he father's death they were to open an antique shop in London. Kat did promise her dad that she would take care of her mother. However, her mother, for whatever reasons, had other plans that turn the next few days upside down for them both. What secrets is she keeping from Kat and why?

What Kat finds is a British family with lots of secrets, a missing nanny, and her mother who turns out to be someone that she didn't know at all. If that was not the worse of it her boyfriend, David who is still married to his wife Trudy, starts acting a little strange. Just as Kat starts to figure things out, something new happens, such as murder and then she is left wondering like the rest who did it.

With a surprise ending that one would not have guessed, and with corky characters, MURDER AT HONEYCHURCH HALL is absolutely amusing to read. I loved it! I felt almost like I was in the mix of a version of the Clue game as I read each page trying to put together who could have done what and why. It will keep you wondering until the very end.

SUMMARY

Kat Stanford is just days away from starting her dream antique business with her newly widowed mother Iris when she gets a huge shock. Iris has recklessly purchased a dilapidated carriage house at Honeychurch Hall, an isolated country estate located several hundred miles from London. Yet it seems that Iris isn’t the only one with surprises at Honeychurch Hall. Behind the crumbling faΓ§ade, the inhabitants of the stately mansion are a lively group of eccentrics to be sureβ€”both upstairs and downstairs β€”and they all have more than their fair share of skeletons in the closet. When the nanny goes missing, and Vera, the loyal housekeeper ends up dead in the grotto, suspicions abound. Throw in a feisty, octogenarian countess, a precocious seven year old who is obsessed with the famous fighter pilot called Biggles, and a treasure trove of antiques, and there is more than one motive for murder. As Iris’s past comes back to haunt her, Kat realizes she hardly knows her mother at all. A when the bodies start piling up, it is up to Kat to unravel the tangled truth behind the murders at Honeychurch Hall.
