The Murder of a Queen Bee by Meera LesterMy rating: 2 of 5 stars, it was okay.
Book 2 in a series. I definitely felt at times that I was missing information that I probably would have gotten if I had read the first book.
This book just wasn't my cup of tea. I had a hard time getting into the story, and in fact kept putting it down to read something else. Lots of little things that just added up to a big, "Nope." for me.
The entire "farmette" thing. It's a freaking farm, even if it's a small farm. For some reason the word "farmette" grates on me.
And I know this is a cozy, and therefore you have to be prepared to suspend your disbelief, but I just couldn't manage it in this one. Yes, Abby is a retired police officer. But retired is the active word, and there's absolutely no way they'd have let her on a crime scene, friends of another cop or not.
The relationship between Jack, Abby and Clay bugged me too, since I am not at all a fan of the love triangle trope and even a hint of one is a huge turnoff to me.
I really struggled to get past my first impressions of this book. I can't say I would recommend it, or rush out and buy the next in the series.
