George Bernard Sheth loves his pug and his bees. People? Not so much. He spends his days in his garden and with his beehives. Since moving to Dufftown, Scotland, several years earlier, all the honey he produces goes to a local mead brewer he’s had a crush on. 

Murphy Baird loves the entire process of brewing from start to finish. He particularly likes spending time with his honey provider. All of his mead is served at the pub attached to his brewery. 

With the help of meddling friends, the two have been plodding their way towards a first date. However, it all goes pear-shaped when a customer dies under suspicious circumstances in the middle of a mead tasting. Murphy soon finds himself in the crosshairs of a police inquiry almost immediately. 

They find themselves in the middle of a burgeoning romance while navigating a confusing murder mystery. 

Can they avoid death threats and arrest long enough to make it to their first date? 

Available now!

Who is Murphy? What is his profession? Who is Teagen, and how does he know Murphy? How do the men know Seth, Buzz, Sarah, and more? What does Seth do for a living? What does he sell or provide to others? I appreciated that Ms. Donovan puts people who are not your average people into her books. Her neurotypical diversity in her stories makes them fun to read. Especially with the mysteries! Who dies in this one? What happened that killed the person? Who-dun-it is the next question that must be answered. I could not put this story down. I did not particularly like Ella, Graeme, and others. Loathsome people they were. Oh my gosh, the murder, the investigation, the side sleuthing, and the ending of this who-dun-it had me reading until I was finished in just a couple of hours. I could not put the book down until I knew! Enjoy the read. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
