It’s fall in Winter Garden, Virginia, and business at Amy Flowers’ Down South Café has never been better. So when struggling beekeeper Stuart Landon asks Amy to sell some of his honey, she’s happy to help. The jars of honey are a sweet success, but their partnership is cut short when Amy discovers Landon’s body outside the café early one morning.
As Amy tries to figure out who could possibly have wanted to harm the unassuming beekeeper, she discovers an ever-expanding list of suspects—and they’re all buzzing mad. She’ll have to use all of her skills—and her Southern charm—to find her way out of this sticky situation…
With Amy Flower's expanding her sell through section she expects money in the till, not murder in the morning!
Amy has teamed up with a local beekeeper, Stu Landon, to sell his honey on a commission basis, it proves so popular that she goes to his farm to ask if he can provide some more, which he agrees to do the following morning, Amy therefore isn't surprised to see his rather ramshackle pickup truck in the car park the next morning, she is surprised when he doesn't follow her in, but she figures he has fallen asleep whilst waiting for her, he turns out to be asleep alright, but it is the sleep of the dead!
No-one knew much about Stu, so they are stunned when they discover he has an ex-wife and two children (one a paralegal, the other at college), Amy initially gets on fine with the daughter, until the finger of suspicion falls on the son, add in the possibility of people having natural gas under their properties, maybe a battered wife, the death of some of the bees and fingers pointing every which way and Amy has more on her plate that just some hash browns.
