Publisher's summary

When a bee wrangler is bludgeoned, Let It Bee honey shop owner Wren Johnson makes it her beeswax to solve the crime in Nancy Coco's second Oregon Honeycomb Mystery . . .

For the picturesque town of Oceanview on the Oregon Coast, May brings blossoming fruit trees and the annual UFO festival. As Aunt Eloise tries out alien costumes on their Havana brown cat Everett, Wren is off to meet with a bee wrangler, her go-to guy for local fruit tree honey.

But when she arrives, Elias Brentwood is lying on the ground amidst destroyed hives and a swarm of angry bees. The bees didn't kill him; a blow to the head did. As blue-eyed Officer Jim Hampton investigates and the town is invaded by its own swarm of conspiracy theorists and crackpots, Wren and Aunt Eloise decide the only way to catch the bee wrangler's killer is to set up a sting . . .

COULD be a fan, BUT

The saving grace??? Susan Ericksen is the narrator! I was somewhat annoyed with Wren in first book and much more so in this second book. She appears smart one minute, then blurts everything she knows to many people she doesn’t really know and any one of whom could be the murderer while on the other hand, she won’t give the police any info because they will tell her to stay out of it! In both books, I noticed the introduction of a possible major clue, but then it isn’t mentioned when she gives her statement to the police nor when she talks to anyone else. Yet she blabs everything she knows to many. Even after someone tries to kill her, sometimes more than once, she insists she isn’t in danger. Someone close to her goes missing and cannot be reached by phone, but Wren? She doesn’t seem to think anything of that until much later and sometimes finds out they’re in danger by accident!

Meh

I'm not sure about this series. I enjoyed the first book but I found Wren annoying in the second book. I'm not sure if I will get the third book.
