Could Claire Connor’s first day at her new job get any worse? Hostile staff, an embarrassing skirt incident … But then the body of her friend Anne is found at a honey-producer client, apparently stung to death. Anne wasn’t due to start the audit for a few days, so why was she there?

When another colleague dies in unusual circumstances, Claire’s firm finds itself under siege from the media, and losing clients. Accident prone and inclined to recklessness, can Claire uncover what really happened to her colleagues without suffering a similar fate?”
