Death Bee Comes Her

Oregon Honeycomb Mystery Series, Book 1

De: Nancy Coco

Narrado por: Susan Ericksen

Nancy Coco, author of the popular Candy-Coated Mystery series, brings the Pacific Northwest's rainy coast to life with her new Oregon Honeycomb Mystery series starring Wren Johnson and her Havana Brown cat, Everett.

Wren owns a specialty shop in the tourist town of Oceanview, where it's all things honey, from taffy to body scrub, until the murder of a victim clutching one of Wren's homemade beeswax lip balms makes things sticky....

A balmy way to go

With her Let It Bee honey boutique buzzing along nicely, life is as sweet as nectar for Wren Johnson - until she takes a morning walk along the Pacific beach with her Havana Brown cat, Everett, and stumbles upon the body of Agnes Snow, the cranky queen of the local craft fairs, stiff as driftwood. More unfortunate? Clutched in the victim's fist is a label from Wren's homemade beeswax-and-honey lip balm. Which makes Officer Jim Hampton focus his dreamy-blue Paul Newman eyes on Wren as suspect number-one.

With fabulous feline support from Everett, Wren must comb the town for clues and clear her name before someone else gets stung.

A sweet story

Delightful read. Had me guessing who was the killer. Also liked the recipes described in the story.

Award worthy

Best cozy book EVER. I can’t think of one critique. I found myself unable to just stop at the end of each chapter and binge listened for at least an hour each time.Not until now have I listened to a narrator read a story and forget that it’s the same person reading all characters ( if that makes sense). I am so glad I’ve discovered this author & narrator. If I was forced to come up with one thing negative to say it would be there needs to be more books in this series.

Setting was lovely

For a mystery, the main character is not smart and insightful but portrayed more as immature and reckless.

Difficult listen

I kept thinking that his narrator was virtual because the narrator speaks in a monotone, And doesn’t differentiate characters.
The main character is not highly likable, but she impulsive and ignorant in the action that she takes in a beautiful area of Oregon. It’s unfortunate that she’s not a great character. It is a weak story.

meh

Death Bee Comes Her is a slow moving cozy mystery with characters that I didn't particularly like. I decided to return it.
