A Matter of Hive and Death
ByPublisher Description
USA Today bestselling author
When a bee wrangler is bludgeoned, Let It Bee honey shop owner Wren Johnson makes it her beeswax to solve the crime . . .
For the picturesque town of Oceanview on the Oregon Coast, May brings blossoming fruit trees and the annual UFO festival. As Aunt Eloise tries out alien costumes on their Havana brown cat Everett, Wren is off to meet with a bee wrangler, her go-to guy for local fruit tree honey.
But when she arrives, Elias Brentwood is lying on the ground amidst destroyed hives and a swarm of angry bees. The bees didn’t kill him, a blow to the head did. As blue-eyed Officer Jim Hampton investigates and the town is invaded by its own swarm of conspiracy theorists and crackpots, Wren and Aunt Eloise decide the only way to catch the bee wrangler’s killer is to set up a sting . . .

—Kirkus Reviews

“I struggled to finish.”
“I love this series. Please write a third book!!”
“A very cute cozy mystery. A quick read and a good story. Really enjoyed the characters!!”“This book is kinda traumatizing… TW for active shooter
Overall the mystery was WILD too but somehow I called the twist so that was fun. I’m gonna pass it on to my Portland friend cause she’ll appreciate all the Oregon references. I’ll read more in the series if more come out, too.”
