Publisher's summary

Josiah Reynolds is a beekeeper trying to stay financially afloat by selling honey at the Farmers' Market. She finds her world turned upside down when a man is found dead in her beeyard, only to discover the victim is her nemesis. The police are calling the brutal death murder and Josiah is the number one suspect! Fighting an unknown enemy in the glamorous world of Thoroughbreds, oak-cured bourbon, and antebellum mansions, Josiah struggles to uncover the truth in a land that keeps its secrets well.

Josiah faces the world with sarcastic humor and a number of quirky, oddball friends that can only be found in the Bluegrass town of Lexington, the heart of Kentucky horse country. Some mysteries end with a bang, some are not solved at all and the first one ends with a cliff hanger, but they always entertain in the sassy, humorous, and suspenseful world as Josiah goes about sleuthing. Like Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Josiah observes the world about her and solves even the must troubling cases.

Death by a HoneyBee is the first of an episodic series and as such ends in a cliff-hanger which is crucial to the rest of the series. Attached to HoneyBee is a bonus chapter from Death by Drowning which continues our heroine's story in linear time. I hope you enjoy reading Death by a HoneyBee as much as I have enjoyed writing it. It was a labor of love.

Critic reviews

"Abigail Keam writes with vision and understanding. Keam leaves the reader yearning for more." (Midwest Book Review)

"The Josiah Reynolds Mystery Series is just like fried chicken—finger-licking good! Add some sweet tea and a piece of chocolate pecan pie with a scoop of ice-cream and you got yourself some tasty reading. We are introduced to a cast of characters and a storyline that, like honey, is sweet and delicious." (Linda Hinchcliff, Chevy Chase Magazine)

Awesome

I love everything about this book. The characters are realistic and engaging. The plot is well written with several twists and turns. I'm hooked and can't wait for the next book in this series.
