Queen Bee Mystery

review 1: Hannah Reed should have learned the difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. When a car is left running in a garage, it is carbon monoxide that is released, not carbon dioxide. A simple Google search would have cleared this right up. Sometimes I truly wonder why I read cozy mysteries. Usually they are simple mind candy, but then there are those authors that just continually hit below the mark. The Queen Bee Mysteries have always been below par, the writing is basic and the plots are lightweight. Oh yea, and Ms. Reed needs to learn the difference between acronyms and initials, and do not get me started on her use of bullet points. Yada, yada, yada, food flavorists decent on Holly and Ben’s home to have a weekend away from office stresses and when one ... moreis murdered, Holly is charged because once upon a time Holly gave the woman the evil eye and everyone assumed that meant Holly was convinced that the woman was after her husband.Turns out that Nova (the woman that was killed) had something in common with Story’s next-door neighbor Patti. That is right – they were both married to the same man and he is a mob boss out of Chicago. Are you rolling your eyes yet? Maybe the book would not have felt so long and drawn out if there were more story lines going on. There is a little here and there about the running of the Wild Clover and Story’s relationship with Hunter. There is also a tidbit about Story’s mother involved with a new man, but all in all, there was just one stagnant plot.Not a good book, not a good series.
review 2: Story Fisher's sister needs lots of help. Her husband brought home a trio of employees that need to be entertained. Holly asks Story to help. So Story shops the well-stocked aisles of her grocery store, The Wild Clover, for the guests. The agenda includes a visit to Story's back yard to learn about the bees. However, during that trip one of the employees dies, putting a damper on the visit. Not only that, Story becomes the prime suspect because she provided the deceased's carrot juice.There was a lot going on in this book. Not only does Story have to investigate to clear her name, but her hunky boyfriend, Hunter Wallace, has just moved in with her, her mother and her boyfriend are looking at the rental house next door, and Pity-Party Patti is acting more strange than normal.I like this series and look forward to whatever Story and her friends get into. They are all smart, likeable, and a little eccentric. less
