Clare Cosi is busy as a bee planning her honeymoon when murder buzzes
into the Village Blend in this all-new mystery in the beloved New York
Times bestselling Coffeehouse series by Cleo Coyle.
While struggling to find a romantic (and affordable) destination for her
upcoming honeymoon, coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi whips up a sweet new
drink made from honey-processed coffee. Clare plans to serve her
outstanding new Honey-Cinnamon Latte at her spring wedding to her
longtime honey, NYPD detective Mike Quinn. The culinary world is also
abuzz about the amazing honey that Clare was lucky enough to source for
her shop's new latte. Produced by Madame's old friend Queen Bea
Hastings, the rare, prize-winning nectar from Bea's rooftop hives
commands a premium price, and top chefs compete for a chance to use it
in their signature seasonal dishes.
One night, a swarm of escaped bees blanket the Village Blend's chimney,
and Clare discovers Bea's unconscious body after she seemingly fell from
her high-rise rooftop-hive setup. The police want to rule it as a tragic
accident or possible attempted suicide, but Clare does not believe
either theory. Like Madame, she knows this Queen would never abandon her
hive. To sort out this mystery, Clare investigates a world of cutthroat
chefs, culinary start-ups, and competitive urban beekeepers. But can she
uncover the truth without getting stung?
