Magic Can Bee Deadly

Ella Bloom Mysteries, Book 2

By: Sarah Noffke

Narrated by: Chelsea Stephens

The only thing sweeter than honey, is revenge.

When magic returns to Gloamington, the town holds a Spring Awakening Festival. It should be an opportunity to celebrate. Instead, it becomes the perfect stage for murder.

When the mayor is found dead at the festival, Malcolm Fawkes and Ella Bloom find themselves hunting a killer among the celebrating crowd. The sheriff calls it an accident but the great detective knows better.

The mayor had more enemies than friends. From the baker whose dreams he crushed to the beekeeper he battled, everyone had a reason to want Mayor Estes gone.

As magical races flood back to town demanding permits, properties and long-lost treasures, Ella and Malcolm race to uncover the truth. But in a town drunk on newly returned magic, where honey flows through everything and old grievances run deep, nothing is what it seems.

Can Ella and Malcolm catch a killer before it’s too late? Or will the sweetest revenge claim another victim?

Magic Can Bee Deadly is the second book in the enchanting Ella Bloom Mysteries.
