'One of the best books of the year.' POP SUGAR

After a messy divorce, Olivia finds herself back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, taking over her father's beekeeping business. Meanwhile, Ava is also in search of a fresh start, moving to Adams with her daughter Lily, who is in her final year of high school.

Olivia's son Asher falls for the new girl at school, and Lily can't help loving him in return. With Ash, she feels happy for the first time, yet she wonders if she can trust him completely.

Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call. Lily is dead, and Ash is being questioned by the police. Olivia is adamant that her son is innocent, but she also recognises the flashes of his father's dangerous temper in him.

Mad Honey is a soul-stirring novel about what we choose to keep from our past, and what we choose to leave behind.

'This expertly-paced courtroom drama combines whodunnit suspense with a poignant love story and a smart delve into the secrets people keep.' AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S WEEKLY
