Moraine, Wisconsin's annual Harmony Festival is anything but harmonious for Story Fischer, as a dead body makes an uninvited appearance in the parade-and the person who may be responsible for putting it there starts dating Story's mother...
It’s time for the Harmony Festival in Moraine, Wisconsin. All the shopkeepers are setting up outdoor displays, there will be a parade and even a Honey Queen. Story is none to happy with this year’s queen but there are other things for her to worry about, like a 12 year old whose is experimenting creating explosives, her mother’s new boyfriend and an out-of-towner trying to reap the benefits of the home town festival.
Then there’s that darn disappearing body, she tripped over it in the cemetery, but by the time help arrives the body is gone. It then turns up in a most unusual spot and when his identity is revealed Story realizes there are even more things she needs to worry about. The search for the truth “bee-comes” very interesting and danger could “bee” lurking around every corner.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
I love this series.
Hannah Reed definitely writes what she knows. She crafts an wonderful intelligent cozy mystery without a flaw. The characters are all unique and absolutely extraordinary. Each and every one will make a beeline right into your heart, even the characters we love to hate. I grow to love each one a little more with every page in this wonderful series. They never fail to put a smile on my face.
Mystery and mayhem are blended together to give us a honey of a story for our minds to enjoy. Reed is definitely the Queen Bee when it comes to cozy mystery.

This was a good read. Story finds and loses a body only to turn up later in the worst place possible. The plot had me sticking to the pages and kept me guessing as I didn’t know which way to turn. I love the quirky characters of Moraine, the small-town feel and the non-stop action that resulted in exposing a killer. This was a very enjoyable read and I look forward to the next book in this charmingly sweet series.

I must admit, I consider cozy mysteries one of my guilty pleasures. There is nothing I love more than curling up on the couch after everyone has gone to bed and ending my day with hot cocoa and a mystery. Perhaps I am a bit biased, since I am a fellow Wisconsinite, but Hannah Reeds Queen Bee series has become one of my favorites. I love the small town setting, the fun little facts about Wisconsin and bee-keeping (something I've always found fascinating, by the way) and I find the characters to be easy to identify with and very fun, especially the protagonist, Story Fischer. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a quirky, fun read complete with a whole lot of mystery :)

series is good when you want to live in the town where the books take
place. I definitely want to live in Moraine, eat Honey, and find me a
guy like Hunter. One of the best contemporary mystery series out there.
Don't miss it!

Again, another great book by Hannah Reed. Plan Bee starts with a map and just keeps getting better from there. The books holds your interest, you don't want to put it down until you have finished reading the book.

This book was easy-to-read and had a wonderful, interesting story that grabbed you right off of the bat and didn't let you go. I loved the author's writing style and might have to find more of her books to read. I found all of her characters very realistic and easy to identify with.

I love this series! This one is the best so far! Really. I am hooked on this series. It was so exciting to find a series that incorporated beekeeping into the storyline. I am a beekeeper and I JUST LOVE THIS. Well, I am also a fan of mystery novels...so imagine how thrilled I am to have both in one book. No spoilers included in my reviews. Just READ THE BOOK!!!!

This book, as all her books, are great! I enjoy how she keeps the plot moving and how she weaves all the personalities of the characters together to make the story so interesting. Anyone who likes a little jocularity, romance and mystery should read all of Hannah/Deb's books.

Hannah Reed's books are very engaging. You can't wait to read the next page. Then having to wait for the next book is torture. I highly recommend reading this book.

If you have a normal family this books for you!
Story and her quirkey friends and family are people we can all relate to. The town has all the unusual people yyour own does. A fun read with some twists and turns, Zigs and Zags. Thank you Hannah Reed!

If this book is anything like the first two in the series, it is a definite must read!! The series is fast paced, witty, brilliantly presented, and a true joy to read. Hannah Reed is one of the best story tellers in her genre!.
