I’m back! Todays review is for Helen Golden’s latest instalment on A Right Royal Cosy Mystery Series, A Cocktail To Die For. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Helen Golden for my copy of the book to write my review.
Cocktails, chaos, and an unexpected twist.
Can Perry and his hens unveil the truth before time runs out?
Death at Prestigious Hotel and Spa, Chasingham House
We are hearing reports that a young woman has been found dead at Chasingham House, the exclusive venue in the Cotswolds. She has not been named, and the cause of death is unknown at this time. This will no doubt cast a cloud over the bachelor weekend being hosted there by Lady Beatrice (36), the Countess of Rossex, for her business partner Perry Juke (34) ahead of his wedding to bestselling author and celebrity chef Simon Lattimore (40). Also staying at Chasingham House are top models Camile Redmaine (35) and Mel Parks (35), who are celebrating newly-single Cammy’s birthday with a group of friends.
When one of the birthday girls is found dead in her room, it’s clear Bea plans for her, Perry, and their friends to chill around the pool, have a few treatments, and generally relax, seem to have gone down the drain. When the local police are quick to dismiss the death as an accident, Bea is determined to help investigate anyway, along with the rest of Perry’s party.
Can Perry and his hens catch the killer before the weekend is over and the trail goes cold?
Helen Golden has created a fabulous cosy mystery series with her A Right Royal Cosy Mystery Series! She knows how to grab a reader and keep them turning the pages from the start. This is the eighth book, and I am as invested with Lady Bea as I was in books one and two.
This time, Perry is getting married, so he and Lady Bea, as well as some friends, decide it’s a spa weekend in the country. This turns out bad news for the spa as we all know deaths and the accompanying mystery follows them wherever they are. So, as per usual, the relaxing spa weekend turns into what Lady Bea does best…amateur sleuthing.
I love this series and enjoyed every minute of this particular book. The story as a whole has the right ingredients to keep me engrossed all the way. I always feel like Im returning to old friends whenever I pick up this series. The characters all make me feel like I am with them. Just the right amount of red herrings alongside the humour gives this a ‘just one more page’ issue.
I do hope Lady Bea continues her sleuthing for a long time to come! If you enjoy cosy mysteries with interesting characters and no shortage of humour, just give this series a try. It’s well worth it!

Author Bio
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
