Fresh Fiction Review

Mind Your Own Beeswax

Mystery Cozy | Mystery Woman Sleuth

Story Fischer finally seems to have her life under control -- sort of. Her store, The Wild Clover, is doing well, and she finally has her honey business, Queen Bee Honey, up and running.

Keeping up with her beehives is still keeping her hopping, and when her swarm decides to take off, it's up to Story to hike through the woods to find where they are headed to. But when she stumbles over the body of the town "witch," well, let's just say the bees had better behave while Story buzzes into investigative mode. But, as usual, someone doesn't want Story nosing around, and her sleuthing just might get her stung, if she's not careful, this time.

In Hannah Reed's latest Queen Bee Mystery, MIND YOUR OWN BEESWAX, she once again treats her readers to the lively adventures of Story Fischer, her family and friends, and of course, the bees!

Story Fischer is one of the spunkiest heroines of a cozy mystery that I have had the pleasure of reading! Story loves living in her hometown, being near her grandmother, and usually doesn't mind being around her mom and sister Holly. She is in love again with her handsome deputy sheriff boyfriend, Hunter (her old boyfriend from high school!) and her bees keep her happily humming along. But trouble seems to find Story, and she is not a gal to turn away from a good mystery! I love the character's strength, her fearlessness, and her smarts!

With the Queen Bee Mystery series, Hannah Reed has created a delicious series that is a sweet treat for cozy mystery fans! (The addition of yummy honey-related recipes make a great addition to an already great story!)
