The English PI with "a biting wit" returns to dig up the dirty secrets of a celebrity archaeologist in this delightful mystery series ( Kirkus Reviews). Being a bodyguard isn't Chris Honeysett's thing. He's more of a destitute artist type. But he's also an out-of-work private investigator working from a tiny cottage in Bath. So when he's offered a gig babysitting Guy Middleton, he figures a check is a check. Famous for his archaeology-based reality show, Middleton has been receiving death threats. And his latest shoot—uncovering the treasures of a local historic mansion—might give his stalker fans easier access than normal. Could someone really want him dead? As Honeysett gets to the know the haughty, disagreeable star, he begins to wonder who wouldn't. But the menace only escalates when more than Roman remains are unearthed on the mansion grounds. Now it's Honeysett's job to connect the crimes of the past with those promised for the near future.
