Something in the Blood by J.G.Goodhind

Hannah “Honey” Driver runs a hotel in Bath, England. She is roped into being the liaison between the Bath Hotels Association and the police with the promise of more bookings coming her way. When an American tourist who was staying at a local bed and breakfast disappears, Honey has her first case. It seems that the tourist was using a fake name and also left behind his passport and luggage. Honey tries to figure out why Elmer Maxted, the American, was in Bath in the first place. At the same time, she is fending off suitors her mother has lined up for her, making sure her 18-year-old daughter, Lindsey, stays out of trouble and discovering her attraction to two men—Detective Sergeant Steve Doherty and bookseller John Rees. The book reminded me of Ann Purser's Lois Meade and Veronica Heley's Ellie Quicke, both British cozy mysteries series featuring female main characters.
