Description

Greetings, potential readers! The Killing Bee was previously published by Signet; it's book #4 in the Jacob Burns mystery series. Book #1, Breakfast at Madeline's, received the Malice Domestic Award.

Synopsis

Controversy abounds at the public elementary school where Jacob and Andrea Burns send their two sons. Somebody's cheating on the standardized tests. The principal wants to fire the new fifth grade teacher. Ambitious parents are frantic to get their kids into the gifted and talent program. The school psychologist is way too eager to label kids ADD. All of these frustrations literally come to a head when the principal gets fatally bashed in the skull with a spelling bee trophy.
