The town is all abuzz when a murder occurs in Jennie Marts' debut cozy
mystery, perfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Amanda Flower.
As a successful mystery author, Bailey Briggs writes about murder, but
nothing prepares her for actually discovering the dead body of the
founder of her hometown of Humble Hills, Colorado. Bailey grew up at
Honeybuzz Mountain Ranch and was raised by her beekeeping grandmother,
Blossom Briggs, aka Granny Bee, and her two eccentric sisters, Aster and
Marigold--which is why she drops everything to come home and help Granny
Bee after a bad fall.
A broken foot doesn't stop her grandmother from ruling The Hive, her
granny's book club, or continuing to prepare and package her
bee-inspired products. But when Bailey's grandmother's infamous "Honey
I'm Home" hot spiced honey turns out to "bee" the murder weapon and her
granny is now the prime suspect, Bailey has no choice but to use her
fictional detective skills to help solve the murder and 'smoke-out' the
real culprit.
With the help of Bailey's witty bestie, a pair of meddling aunts, the
feisty members of The Hive, and her computer-savvy daughter, this
amateur sleuth is determined to solve the case. A malicious attack and
an ominous threat reveal that someone wants Bailey to butt out of the
investigation, but there's no way she's backing down. She must use her
skills to uncover the truth and catch the clever culprit before her
grandmother ends up bee-hind bars.
