Another fast-paced and gripping 'who-dunnit' from the pen of Vivian Conroy, she really is the mistress of the cosy 'Christie-esque' mysteries, and never disappoints to entertaining and to keep you turning the pages. The story is sweet and cheerful - which is a little odd to say as this is a murder mystery, but it is cheerful, it's a brilliant escapism away from the world we are living in. I loved the setting, it's picturesque and I loved the richly descriptive writing which pulls you into the story. An all-around winner!

A great cozy mystery, Honeymoon with Death keeps you guessing until the very end.

We find in this story, that Mrs Ramsforth has been whisked away to an idyllic Greek island by her new husband. But as soon as they arrive at their hotel she feels as though she’s been there before...

Puzzling over the familiarity, Damaris’ honeymoon goes from unsettling to a complete nightmare when she finds herself standing over a dead body, unable to explain how she got there.

The premise of the book is great and the author really delivers. Great read. Highly recommended. .

#2 in the murder Will Follow Mystery series, but it can also be read as a stand-alone.

Honeymoon With Death is a cosy murder mystery set in the 1920’s on the island of Kalos. mr and Mrs Ramsforth are on their honeymoon, but there is an air of intrigue about them. Then Mrs Ramsforth begins experiencing strange and macabre events that only she is witness too. Are these I. Her imagination or is someone deliberately trying to confuse and disorient her?

But then a body is found!

Inspector Jasper is back, he’s here on the island and decides to help Mrs Ramsforth and begins to investigate.

This is a fantastically twisty tale with a complex plot that will keep you guessing, a must read for fans of cosy crime.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for an eARC of Honeymoon With Death.

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the second novel I have read by Vivian Conroy and I found it as original and entertaining as the first. This one starts with a young newly married couple arriving on the Greek island of Kalos for their honeymoon. All is idyllic and romantic until it looks like someone is trying to hurt the new bride. What I love about these books is that they told from different viewpoints - the characters are simultaneously the narrators and suspects. It’s a lot of fun and there’s always a surprising twist at the end. Can’t wait to read more.

If you enjoy mysteries set in the 1920s with an Agatha Christie style, grab yourself a copy of this fantastic story! I had thoroughly enjoyed reading 'A Testament to Murder', the first book in this series, so was eager to read this one and I wasn't disappointed!

A whirlwind romance swiftly followed by a dream wedding and honeymoon on an idyllic Greek island sounds like beautiful romance, however there are mysteries galore in this cosy murder mystery. Just why does the new bride, Damaris Ramsforth, find the honeymoon location so familiar? Even worse, how did she find herself standing over a dead body with no memory of how she got there or what she was doing? Is she going mad? What is wrong?

That's when the intrepid former Scotland Yard Inspector Jasper comes to her rescue. He's holidaying on the island with a local contemporary and he just can't help making his own enquiries. He's shocked to discover that this isn't the first time that Damaris has been involved in a murder enquiry. This isn't just one murder mystery but several puzzles intricately threaded together and difficult to untangle for everyone except, of course, the logical, determined Inspector Jasper. He's a less eccentric version of Hercule Poirot, with great deductive powers that help weave those threads into a complex tapestry with all revelations made in the end.

This is a fantastic story and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending it to anyone else who enjoys Agatha Christie style murder mysteries.

Many thanks to Canelo for gifting me a copy of this book via NetGalley. This is my honest review after reading and being totally enthralled by this fantastic murder mystery.

Honeymoon with Death by Vivian Conroe is about the new Mrs Ransforth who is whisked away to an idyllic Greek island after their dream wedding by her husband. Things quickly go from bad to worse when she finds herself standing over a dead body. Now only one Scotland Yard inspector can save her. This was a very enjoyable book with a beautiful Greek island as a background. There were many devious and interesting characters. This book flowed well but has many unexpected twists and turns. Thank you to Net Galley for providing an advanced reader’s copy.

A very disappointing read.
It felt like the storyline was so far fetched and very confusing in places
The writing style lacked both depth and content.

A honeymoon, a dazzling and sun soaked Greek island, a luxurious hotel and ...a murder. Holidaymaker and Scotland Yard Inspector, Jasper ( first met in 'A Testament To Murder'- book one in the 'Murder Will Follow' series) is soon on the case. Very enjoyable murder mystery with engaging characters and storyline as well as a beautiful backdrop. Recommended.

This was certainly an interesting read, especially because of the plot twists. Fair enough, one knew who some of the culprits were pretty early on, but not what was going to happen and why.

Honeymooning on a Greek Island, sounds idyllic doesn't it, but what if you have a disturbing sense of 'deja vu'? Damaris still can't' believe she's married after a whirlwind courtship, to such a lovely man. On her honeymoon, she looks forward to her life with Teddy, but then things start to go wrong. How much does she really know about her husband? Why doesn't she like his friends?

The characters are flawed, and secretive, but is one of them hiding something deadly? The plot is written in the 'Agatha Christie'whodunnit style, set in the 1920s. Ex-Inspector Jasper a delightful fusion of a Poirot and Chief Inspector Japp, less eccentric, but with an enigmatic presence.

Damaris, is vulnerable and doesn't know who to trust, an unreliable protagonist, is she hiding something? The clues are plentiful but these are obscured by the many twists, and suspects, making the true antagonist hard to uncover.

If you enjoy retro murder mystery in a vividly described setting, this is one for you to escape with.

I received a copy of this book from Canel0 via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

A decent read with some twists and lots of queries over who did it! All twisted in the idyllic Greek island. Lots of characters to pay attention to as well

This was a brilliant cosy mystery set on a Greek Island in the 1920s that tied me up in knots trying to work out whodunnit!
Inspector Jasper was a great character and I loved his Labrador Red, so friendly and very well behaved.
Damaris was the perfect main character in this murder mystery, never knowing if she was completely innocent or if she was playing some dangerous game.
There were so many suspicious characters, mostly unlikeable that I couldn’t decide who was guilty and who was a red herring.
If historical cosy mysteries are your thing, then I definitely recommend this book. I’ve discovered a new favourite author and look forward to meeting up with Inspector Jasper again in A Testament to Murder, the first book in the series.

I really enjoyed Jasper as a character and would be interested in reading more books featuring him. The other character's didn't do it for me. I also had trouble following the plot of this book.

I really enjoyed this book. I had not read the first in the series but have now bought this and will read soon. The book put me in mind of a old fashioned golden age crime, Death in Paradise book. The characters were true to the time period the book is based. The characters although not entirely likeable and the red herrings thrown in helped to keep the reveal unmissable until it was exposed. A really good read and I look forward to the next instalment.

Cozy Murder Mystery on a Greek Isle
This wonderful mystery is reminiscent of an Alfred Hitchcock film. The 1920's Greek Isle setting is excellent fantasy material. There are many twists and turns that the reader will not be able to guess the ending. The big reveal is wonderful as is the entire book. I enjoyed this book so much that I bought the first book in the series. I hope this author continues this series for many more enjoyable episodes. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.

If you like Agatha Christie you will love this. Personally, I am not a fan, so, although the novel was perfectly readable, it was not for me. An interesting setting and reflection of an earlier age. Light and easy to read. Good holiday reading.

What a delightful mystery this was! It reminded me of an Agatha Christie novel but written in today’s language, which made it easier to follow the story. But the plot itself was very Christie-esque. A woman on her honeymoon on a Greek island has flashbacks that indicate she has visited the island before, but she has no actual memory. There is a whirlwind romance that led to the honeymoon, a suspicious business partner, enigmatic painter, oh, and a dead body. Add in a retired Scotland Yard inspector on holiday who has to put it all together, and you get a cracking mystery in a beautiful setting. I was excited to see that this is part of a series, so I look forward to reading others involving Inspector Jasper. Thank you to NetGalley, Canelo, and the author for a complimentary pre-release digital ARC of this book.

In “Honeymoon with Death” there wasn't one puzzle to figure out, but several, all intertwined and difficult to unravel in this delightful and engrossing murderous mystery. Masterfully written, the novel was reminiscent of an Agatha Christie mystery.

This was a really solid thriller with a great holiday vibe and the setting was the fictional, small Greek island of Kalos. I liked that the story was told from different perspectives allowing me to see the points of view of all of the characters. I had enjoyed retired Scotland Yard inspector Jasper’s previous outing earlier in the year in ‘A Testament to Murder’ and was pleased to see him involved in this mystery. Once again the inspector couldn't enjoy his holiday break because a murder had been committed and he had to find the culprit.

I loved Vivian Conroy's portrayal of Damaris Ramsforth so I was really rooting for her and hoping that nothing untoward would strike her. The finale of this second instalment involved an intricate finale. As with 'A Testament to Murder', "Honeymoon with Death" was an entertaining, fun read, perfect for when I wanted a dose of mystery/murder, but nothing overtaxing, dark or too long-winded. Highly recommended!

I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel at my own request from Canelo via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

This novel made me think of Mary Stewart, maybe due to deja vue part or the setting.
I enjoyed this entertaining and engrossing novel.
I liked the cast of characters, the plot and the setting.
I look forward to reading other books by this author.
Recommended!
Many thanks to Canelo and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
