Helen Golden – A Dead Herring

Hi all! I’m here bringing my review for A Dead Herring by Helen Golden. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Helen Golden for the copy of the book and massive apologies for being so late!!

BREAKING NEWS Urshall United FC Owner Dies at Drew Castle

 Details are sketchy at this stage, but it is believed businessman Ben Rhodes (38) was found dead in his bathroom at the king’s Scottish home by his twin brother Max, where the pair were guests at a shooting party hosted by Lord Frederick Astley (39), brother of Lady Beatrice (36). The cause of Mr Rhodes’ death is not known, but he started receiving death threats from football fans after his controversial takeover of the club and had recently employed his own personal security.

How unlucky can a girl get? Is fate playing a cruel trick on her for boorish Detective Chief Inspector Richard Fitzwilliam to be the only person who can get to the snowed-in castle to investigate Ben Rhodes’s death? And with no other external resources available to him, he now needs her, her smart dog, and her best friends’ help to catch the killer. Can they put their issues behind them and work together to find the murderer before the weather improves and the perpetrator is free to leave?

Another page-turning cozy British whodunnit with a hint of humour from author Helen Golden.


The fifth book in the Right Royal Cosy Investigation Mystery series. A Dead Herring is another great read I couldn’t wait to get stuck into!

Helen Golden’s series is a stand-out one due to every book being as engaging and just as much fun to read as the previous one. I always look forward to returning to the characters. Each and everyone is colourful, vivid, and so unique. Each and every book keeps me intrigued. Five books in, and I’m still raring to read another.

This time, the setting is Drew Castle in Scotland, and it’s an intriguing case in what almost turns into a locked room mystery. As soon as I pick one of these books up, I know I won’t be moving anytime soon! The story has fantastic pacing, which transports me into Lady Bea’s world. I was again gutted by the time I turned the last page and had to leave them all again.

A plot that’s complex enough to keep you guessing along with a setting that I can picture does keep me hooked. I love this series and will be happy to return to the next book! I love Lady Bea and Daisy!!

Author Bio

Helen Golden

Hello. I’m Helen Golden. I write British contemporary cozy whodunnits with a hint of humour. I live in small village in Lincolnshire in the UK with my husband, my step-daughter, her two cats, our two dogs, sometimes my step-son, and our tortoise.

I used to work in senior management, but after my recent job came to a natural end I had the opportunity to follow my dreams and start writing. It’s very early in my life as an author, but so far I’m loving it.

It’s crazy busy at our house, so when I’m writing I retreat to our caravan (an impulsive lockdown purchase) which is mostly parked on our drive. When I really need total peace and quiet, I take it to a lovely site about 15 minutes away and hide there until my family runs out of food or clean clothes
