Honey, Romance, and Danger…
As August winds down, George Sheth and Murphy Baird are ready to put months of murder mysteries behind them. They hope for calmer days as they move in together. But it’s all for nought when his pug, Bumble, stumbles on the body of a new bride in the middle of the lane.
It’s clear Bumble didn’t kill anyone, but someone did—and they may have set their sights on George.
With a wedding party full of potential suspects, they find themselves caught between the police and angry family members. Can they make it safely through the end of summer alive?
EXCERPT
“Moon’s
out.” Margo lazily raised her arm to point up into the midnight sky. “Days are
finally starting to get shorter again. We’re ready for the steep descent into
autumn.”
“Yes,
that’s what happens in August.” George smothered a yawn into his shoulder,
unable to move his hands since his elderly pug, Bumble, and Margo’s Chihuahua,
Treacle, had taken up possession of them and his lap in general. The two pups
were the best of friends. “I’m glad. It’s been a bizarre summer. Dead bodies
practically falling out of the sky.”
“There
were two murders. A month apart. And neither body fell out of the sky.” Margo
poked a hole in his dramatic retelling. “It hasn’t been all bad. You’ve finally
admitted to being in love with Murphy Baird. You’re moving in together. I’ve
started dating Teagan. We’ve had good things this summer. Don’t let your mind
trick you into focusing on the bad.”
“My
mind is not always my best friend.” George accepted and appreciated all the
quirks that made up who he was. But there were times when being autistic added
additional hurdles to his life. “It does make things interesting, though.”
It
had been a busy summer for George Bernard Sheth. Maybe the most active since
he’d moved from Edinburgh to a little cottage in Dufftown, where he’d created
his perfect wild garden, complete with multiple beehives. They were his
greatest passion.
The
swarming had died down at the end of July. He’d spend August harvesting honey
and preparing his colonies for the onset of the cooler months. It was a routine
he knew well after several years of tending to his bees.
Closing
his eyes momentarily, George allowed himself to enjoy the calm of Margo’s
garden. His cousin didn’t go beyond their cosy little corner of the village
often and rarely got into a car, still struggling with post-traumatic stress
brought on by an accident during her time as a paramedic. They visited each
other daily since he lived just down the lane.
They
shared their love of gardens and calm, along with the thick black hair and deep
brown eyes inherited from their fathers. The Sheth brothers had moved from
Udaipur to Edinburgh with their parents years ago, but his uncle had been the
one to move to Dufftown. His mum and dad had remained in the larger city,
preferring it to quiet village life.
“You’re
due a cut.” Margo interrupted his thoughts.
George
reached up to clasp the end of his ponytail. “Back, demon.”
“I’m
serious. It’s longer than you usually let it get.” Margo laughed when he tried
to fend her off with a made-up prayer. “George.”
“Margo.”
He hated having his hair trimmed, often going years between cuts to avoid the
experience. He occasionally tried to do it himself. “My heart weeps for your
lack of empathy.”
