Be careful what you eat or who you date because you might end up meeting the caretaker instead.
Anne Hagan continues Sheriff Mel Crane and Special Agent Dana Rossi's love story in Busy Bees in "The Moreville Mysteries" series. The emphasis on this book is on the mystery of murder and moonshine and not romance. Rossi sits on the back burner as she heals up from the shooting from the first book (oops hopefully you read the first one (laugh)). Crane is on her own with her staff working two cases of murder: one a food-poisoning at the local Mushroom Festival and another that happens within moments of her appearance. Are they connected or is she just chasing down wild moonshiners? Then a surprise contestant for Sheriff appears on the horizon making Crane have to think about whether she really wants the job as Sheriff or whether she wants back out on the streets working cases full-time.
Busy Bees is a fitting title as everyone is running around, but not really getting a lot done. Mel and Dana's romance never really gets off the ground. Dana does not find out what is in her future with her job, or with the outcome of the cases from Book 1. The kids are still running around the backyard looking to get into trouble. Holly, one of the deputies, has to be put on a figurative leash because she is all excited about the upcoming Sheriff's election. Other deputies have no clue what they are doing and neither do the suspects. New characters are introduced and with so much information tied to to them, you do not know whether to remember them or hope to be reminded later. I cannot really make up my mind about this book as nothing is really solved nor does anything really go anywhere - but it could be the lead in for what is coming?! Guess we will find out...on to book Three.
