Melissa Craig is thrilled that summer has arrived and she has decided to give up her career as an amateur sleuth and enjoy a quiet life in her beautiful country cottage in the Cotswolds. The only digging in her life now happens in her garden, but when a keen beekeeper is found dead, covered in multiple stings, Melissa's new resolve is tested. As she gets to know the family of the dead man, she realises he was no saint. Could someone have possibly wanted him dead? Could this be a very clever murder? With the residents of Upper Benbury now fearful to open their windows to the summer air, and the police treating the deaths as accidental, Melissa must solve this case herself. To find the killer with the sharpest sting, she may have to delve deep into the hive. 264pp, paperback.
