Mind Your Own Beeswax by Hannah Reed





In ten words or less:  Beekeeper Story Fischer loses bees, finds a corpse.

Review:  A beekeeper and owner of a grocery store in Moraine, Wisconsin, Story Fischer has her hands full. When one of her hives takes off, Story sets out to find the delinquent bees. But before she can relocate her bees, Lauren Kerrigan, who has just returned to her hometown, has gone missing. Story saw Lauren the night before, but Lauren was so ravaged by cancer she didn’t even recognize her.

Why bother? Beekeeper Story draws readers into her life in picturesque small town Moraine. She has a loving grandmother, a not so loving mother, a sister who married well, a maybe boyfriend, and an annoying gossip of a neighbor. The first in a series, this book makes you want to hop in your car and take a drive to Story’s shop to stock up on Wisconsin made goodies—don’t forget to look over your shoulder in case there are murderous townsfolk about.
