Honey Mead Murder<\/em><\/a> (2023) Dahlia Donovan<\/a> (Honey Bear Cosy Mysteries)<\/p>\n

\"Honey<\/a>George Sheth keeps bees and provides honey to the local brewery for making mead.<\/p>\n

He also has a huge crush on the owner\/manager, Murphy Baird. <\/p>\n

Ready and dressed for the day, George decided to do the mature adult thing. He\u2019d put the problem off for another time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When the two finally have a first date, things go badly with unexpected death and Murphy being accused of murder.<\/p>\n

Nothing about this story really stuck out to me. The main characters were fine, although the romance seemed forced\/performative. The mystery was average with all the inherent problems of most cozy mystery series where one characters is accused of murder, whether that accusation is logical or not.<\/p>\n
