Palm Trees and Poison
(2025)(The second book in the Clarissa Bell Mystery series)
A novel by Tracy Higley
Step into the sultry heat of 1920s Egypt, where ancient secrets hide along the banks of the Nile River.
Fresh from solving her first murder case in Egypt, archaeologist Dr. Clarissa Bell thought the most dangerous thing about her new assignment would be authenticating ancient pigments.She was wrong.
When a respected Egyptologist is poisoned at an elegant house party, Clarissa finds herself trapped with a collection of suspicious guests—including the devastatingly competent Benedict Quinn, whose true profession remains tantalizingly unclear.
With her insufferable ex-fiancé offering unsolicited protection and a killer with a flair for dramatic timing, Clarissa's archaeological training is getting quite the workout.
But then, what's Christmas without cyanide, chimney fires, and ancient curses?
Some secrets, it seems, are worth killing for—repeatedly.
"A gripping historical mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Rhys Bowen, blending puzzle-solving, the exotic danger of 1920s Egypt, and a clever heroine who refuses to stay safely on the sidelines."
Genre: Cozy Mystery
