The long weekend of festivities includes a beauty pageant, beekeeping demonstrations, a local restaurant bake-off, and a 3K Bear Run where all the participants are dressed as bears. The bake-off brings in a television crew from California to film, so it’s the most drama-filled part of the weekend, especially when the famous celebrity host winds up dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the celebrity was holding her bracelet and had been witnessed having an altercation with Bailey’s best friend Evie shortly before his death, everyone suspects Evie of the murder—and Bailey is quickly on the hunt for clues to clear Evie’s name, alongside Granny Bee and her bunch of geriatric misfit friends. Bailey’s potential new honey, Sheriff Sawyer Dunn, is none too pleased to have Bailey buzzing around the investigation, but Bailey’s determined to uncover the truth, rescue her grannie’s beloved Bee Festival, and save her bestie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey say you get more flies with honey, but in this case, more honey may mean you end up dead. And a little competition never hurt anyone—unless it ends up killing you.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eKill Or Bee Killed\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Cross-pollinating apiculture and mystery writing produces a new hybrid: the thriller bee cozy.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Dripping with honey, Jennie Marts’ bee-themed mystery, \u003ci\u003eKill or Bee Killed\u003c\/i\u003e, has all the elements of the perfect cozy.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eGumshoe Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Marts has built a wonderful world full of family, fun, and all the cozy mystery fun we’ve come to expect.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eFresh Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“A simply riveting read from first page to last.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eMidwest Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A good, small-town mystery, that hits all the right notes . . .
