Summary from Kensington
From peacekeeper to beekeeper…
After an injury forced
her to leave the police department, Abigail Mackenzie started a second
career as a farmer. Raising chickens, harvesting honey from her bee
colony, and growing heirloom vegetables on her farmette in the beautiful
Bay Area town of Las Flores, Abby has embraced all the benefits of a
peaceful life.
But when she attempts to deliver her
trademark honey to local pastry chef Jean-Louis Bonheur and finds him
dead in his shop, her old investigative instincts kick in. After the
coroner rules the death a suicide, the chef’s handsome French-Canadian
brother insists on hiring Abby to find out who really killed Jean-Louis.
With the patience of a farmer and the industriousness of a
bee, Abby sorts through a swarm of suspects, including the chef’s
landlord, his protégé, an eccentric homeless woman, loan sharks, and a
brawny biker. But as she closes in on the truth, she’ll need more than
her beekeeper suit to protect her from a killer’s sting…
Nayu's thoughts
If you hadn't
already guessed from the title, bees are involved in this light hearted murder read.
I find them fascinating creatures, no least becuase I like honey, so I enjoyed learning more about beekeeping.
It's obvious that a former police officer will never lose the
observational skills and sixth sense for trouble, which lands Abby in
danger a lot.
Despite the moments of high stakes and high peril this read
is full of laughs. I felt like I'd known Abby and her friends for
more than 1 book, they have both everyday issues and issues that are
unique to Abby's life which I hope I never face, but I was somehow able to relate to them too. She likes to do things
for herself, but is able to work in a team when needs must. I'm eager
to read more about her life! There wasn't anything in particular that
meant a not perfect grade, it just didn't reach it.
