~Blurb~

Greed can be sticky. Murder even stickier.

Autumn arrives in Willowby, and the Golden Harvest Market is buzzing with excitement. Local beekeepers are preparing for the annual Honey Showdown, and Tamsin Blake is ready to debut her honey-lavender scones using a gift from her kindly neighbor, reclusive apiarist Murray Wood. But when Murray fails to appear at his usual stall and is later found dead in his shed, apparently stung to death, panic spreads as fast as spilled honey.

The scene doesn’t add up. Murray’s protective suit is untouched, several hives are missing, and rumors swirl of someone stealing bees at night. Determined to protect her community and her café’s “Bee Sweet Week,” Tamsin begins to investigate and discovers Murray had more than a few enemies.

Suspects include a rival commercial beekeeper with expanding ambitions, an estranged nephew eager to sell the land, a furious neighbor tired of buzzing invaders, and a temperamental mead maker cut off from Murray’s prized honey supply. Everyone has a motive…and sticky fingers.

A Honeycomb to Die For is a charming and twisty cozy mystery with autumn vibes, delicious treats, and a sting in the tale. Perfect for fans of culinary mysteries, amateur sleuths, and small-town secrets.
