Review
Praise for Betty Rowland's previous Melissa Craig mysteries: 'Full of sharp insights with an unexpected twist in the tail' - Val McDermid, Manchester Evening News 'A clearly gifted and knowledgeable writer, never less than engaging and readable' - Financial Times 'Gently old-fashioned whodunit, riddled with lurking anguish' - The Times 'A splendidly lively debut ... good plotting, well-crafted writing and believable characterisation' - Publishing News 'All the best ingredients of English crime ... a novel of sharp insights' - Cotswold Life 'A younger version of Miss Marples.' Leicester Mercury on Sweet Venom 20041207
Crime-writer Melissa Craig has barely returned from an idyllic honeymoon, to her home in the Cotswolds, than she's confronted with a real-life sudden death. Initially it doesn't seem suspicious. Neighbour and beekeeper Aiden Cresney dies horribly when attacked by an angry swarm. Since he's always taken sensible precautions, eyebrows are only slightly raised. But when Aiden's sister-in-law is similarly attacked, they are raised much higher. Coincidence? Melissa certainly feels a pricking of the thumbs. More of a puzzle than horror-story, Sweet Venom won't disturn the tranquillity of anyone's sleep, and can safely be read in bed. Unless, of course, you're a beekeeper! (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
Aidan Cresney seems to be a model citizen. An active member of the parish council and a former barrister, he took up beekeeping as a retirement hobby. Cresney confidently boasts that bees will never attack an apiarist 'who knows what he's doing'. Yet one day he is found dead after suffering multiple stings. When a second family member dies in similar circumstances, tongues begin to wag. And Melissa Craig, the Cotswolds' intrepid crime-writing sleuth, starts to uncover some disturbing secrets.
