The Honey Jar Confession
In the honey-soft quiet of Little Dinsmere, nothing ever truly disappears; it simply settles, like sugar at the bottom of a teacup.
When eccentric beekeeper Cecily Thorne uncorks a vintage jar of her late mother’s honey, she expects the usual: amber sweetness, a whisper of wildflowers. Instead, she finds a brittle letter folded deep within the comb; a confession. A death. A fête long past.
Everyone remembers that summer. No one remembers it the same way.
Reluctantly drawn in, retired schoolteacher Beatrice Plum begins to tidy the edges of a story that never quite finished. With her Curiosity Notebook in hand and an unsettling sense that someone is watching the past stir, Beatrice must separate memory from invention before a decades-old secret demands a second victim.
In Little Dinsmere, politeness may be currency but truth is always paid in full.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
