The Bee's Kiss

By: Barbara Cleverly

Narrated by: Terry Wale

It's 1926: Joe Sandilands is back from India enjoying the frantic pleasures of Jazz Age London. But post-war gaiety soon wears off when Scotland Yard asks Joe to conduct a swift enquiry.

Dame Beatrice Joliffe, a much-respected member of the British establishment, has been bludgeoned to death in her suite at the Ritz. It seems that death dogged the footsteps of Dame Beatrice, and Joe finds himself investigating the apparent suicides of three young women who had been close to her.

When his superiors unexpectedly tell him to close the case and surrender the file, Joe is forced to battle on alone against pressure from unseen government forces, through to a shattering solution.

Not everything is as it seems.

At the end of one World War and suspecting the possibility of another to come, survivors have shed the veneer of socially acceptable rules.

Another excellent British police procedural set in the 1920s!

This series is absolutely fantastic! If you enjoy a good old time who dun it, set in 1920s Britain, this book you will thoroughly enjoy.
