The Honeyed Truth (Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm, 22)

The Honeyed Truth is book twenty two in the Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm fiction series. Something's buzzing at Lavender Hill Farm―but it's not the bees. When veterinarian Dr. Harriet Bailey-Knight joins a lively group of church seniors for a tour of White Church Bay's must-see lavender farm, she anticipates a relaxing day among the fragrant blooms. But when one of the seniors remarks on the surprising absence of honeybees for such a beautiful sunny day, Harriet's curiosity is piqued. She soon finds the bees aren't gone… but something's not right. Honey yields are mysteriously low, tensions are mounting among the staff, and the resident alpaca keeps escaping his pen. Can Harriet find the source of the issue before things get out of hand? Meanwhile, Harriet's aunt Jinny has been acting strange lately. Every time Harriet tries to reach out, Aunt Jinny withdraws. Fortunately, healing―of both bees and hearts―can come in unexpected ways.
