Loved this murder mystery because it is so real. No complex ideas, no elaborate parties at country estate, just everyday people and situations. It captures your attention in a believable manner making a pleasure to read.

Honey Mead Murder is quirky cozy MM romance with the twist of a murder mystery.
George Sheth is a local beekeeper who has a dog named Bumble and was struggling to sell his honey. Murphy Baird who owns Honey Bear Brewery gets the idea from George to experiment with family recipes and incorporate honey into his collection.
After years of friendship neither of them had the courage to ask the other out on a date. Finally, when George and Murphy decide to plan a day together (thanks to the help of Teagen), it all gets complicated with the following events chaos and murder.
George was a such a likeable character he keeps to himself because when is he around many people and noise it tends to be overwhelming for him at times. Murphy understood that and knew when to give George distance so he could relax and have a moment to himself.
It was a good short mystery and I enjoyed reading it. I didn't really get the closure of the case I would of liked though. We do get to find out who it was, but in ways it could possibly be more than one person involved?
If you're looking for a book with mystery while also giving you cozy vibes filled with two adorable dogs Bumble and Treacle (who steal the spotlight with their play dates haha) this could possibly be your next read.

A good murder mystery

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023

I chose this book because recently, I realized I really liked murder mystery/cozy mystery, especially if it was mm romance, so when I read the blurb, it sounded like something I would really enjoy.

It took me a while to get into the book as it felt a bit slow as it focused more on the murder side and the romance being in the background, and honestly, I was a bit disappointed. I wanted more of a couple relationship. We were told they liked each other, and that was it, but other than a few kisses, the romance was barely there.

Overall, if you want a short read with a heavy focus on the murder mystery side and don't mind a little romance, then pick this up.

*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book through GRR.

I so enjoy the cosy mysteries by this talented author and Honey Mead Murder and this short story just zoomed by so fast I found it difficult to put down. I liked the sweet romance between the two lead characters, Murphy and George… oops, nearly forgot Bumble, George’s dog, but I especially liked how the investigation of the murder was up front and centre.

George is autistic but really quite a high functioning one, maybe it’s because he lives in a small village so is more comfortable, however, I totally loved his character. Bumble is his rescue pug and George literally treats him like a human, it works so well and provides some chuckles with their interactions. His second love is bees and the way Ms Donovan describes his garden truly makes you want to visit.

Murphy is a larger than life ex military man turned brewery owner and mead brewer. Having a local bee man, with lots of different honey, Murphy gets to work out all sorts of new recipes. Teagan, his assistant, finally pushes Murphy and George together and although their first date was a tad more eventful than planned it certainly resulted in them becoming even closer.

While the mystery wasn’t one of epic proportions, I don’t read these cosy mysteries for that reason. It is a feel good story that definitely leads to quite a few chuckles and a relaxing enjoyable time.

Great Start to the Series!

Murphy and George are the absolute best and the moment I started the story, I was hooked. Murphy and George have finally admitted their feelings and agreed to go out on a date when the worst happens, a man falls dead at a mead tasting Murphy is hosting at his pub and he's the prime suspect. Unable to watch the man who he finally admitted his attraction to be accused of something he didn't do, George investigates. This is a cute start to the series and I can't wait for more!
