Debut Book in Thrilling New Murder Mystery Series is Released

May 3, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Author H.F. Beaumont presents “Descending the Spiral Staircase” a suspenseful and engaging new novel that will leave readers in eager anticipation of book two of the series

Inspired by his over 45-year career in the landscape industry and a vision he encountered during a dream, author H.F. Beaumont combined his passion for landscaping design and writing to create a thrilling new murder mystery series revolving around a horrifying discovery made during a home renovation. In “Descending the Spiral Staircase,” the first book in the series, Beaumont introduces readers to the homeowners, John and Marie Albright, as they set out to have their home remodeled with the progress being captured on film by a remodeling magazine. However, things quickly spiral out of control as a simple construction task ends up turning into a murder investigation.

Featuring a hand-drawn map and construction legend designed by Beaumont detailing the layout of the remodel, the book begins with the visual key to help readers better understand where certain events take place throughout the story. What was supposed to be a typical construction task ends up uncovering a buried secret that turns the neighborhood upside down and starts an FBI murder investigation involving stolen bank money, a buried storage shed, a hidden tunnel, and the reconstruction of an unused area to make it a usable space. During an open-house event, the safety of John and Marie becomes at risk when a nosy neighbor leaks news to the press about a bank reward.

“The author does a great job of utilizing both narrative and character growth to really make the story shine brightly throughout the book. The detailed way the author incorporated the landscaping aspect of the character’s arcs really helped elevate the narrative to new heights, utilizing the author’s personal experiences to give the story some authenticity and weight.” – Reviewed by Tony Espinoza for the Pacific Book Review

With many twists and turns, readers will be kept on the edge of their seats as more details are revealed eventually leading them to book number two in the series, “The Wiloby Estates.”
