Honeymoon Mysteries
- Busman's Honeymoon by Dorothy L. Sayers - Murder is hardly the best way for Lord Peter and his bride, the famous mystery writer Harriet Vane, to start their honeymoon. It all begins when the former owner of their newly acquired estate is found quite nastily dead in the cellar. And what Lord Peter had hoped would be a very private and romantic stay in the country soon turns into a most baffling case, what with the misspelled "notise" to the milkman and the intriguing condition of the dead man -- not a spot of blood on his smashed skull and not a pence less than six hundred pounds in his pocket.
- No Honeymoon for Death by Mary Kruger - Recently married to her crime-solving partner, Detective Sargeant Matt Devlin, one-time debutante Brooke Cassidy looks forward to her new life in Manhattan. But first her wealthy aunt insists that the Devlins have a proper honeymoon. The newlyweds find themselves ensconced in a suite deluxe aboard the majestic liner S.S. New York, a virtual floating city. They savor all the pleasures of a luxurious ocean cruise circa 1897 until their honeymoon is interrupted by the disappearance of a prominent financier. No less a personage than the distinguished banker and fellow passenger J.P. Morgan insists that Matt investigate. All the evidence indicates murder, especially when a second body appears. But the Devlins' investigation is complicated by the ship's detective, whose credentials are less than sterling, and by an actor who yearns to be a crime-solver himself.
- Honeymoon with Murder by Carolyn Hart - Mystery bookstore owner Annie Laurance and detective Max Darling are finally tying the knot, but a bizarre sequence of events might unravel this blissful marriage before it begins. With the ceremony completed and the champagne goblets emptied, Max sweeps Annie into his arms for an amorous moment...when the phone rings and a woman on the other end of the line screams bloody murder! The newlyweds rush to the scene of the crime, only to discover that Ingrid Jones, Annie's bookstore assistant, has vanished, leaving the body of a neighborhood Peeping Tom on her living room rug. As the community of Broward's Rock, including dotty New Age psychic and Annie's meddling new mother-in-law, mobilizes to find the missing woman, the cold corpse puts honeymoon plans on the shelf...and Annie's love of investigation threatens to bring the big chill to Max's hungry heart.
