Milk and Honey by Faye Kellerman

If I'm going to get caught up during this holiday - I had better get with the program.

I remembered about the bees, of course, given the title, it would be hard not to. The blood covered baby, though, that I had forgotten. And this time it was a truly twisted family. A twisted family of beekeepers. California - what can you say?

Rina, in self-imposed exile in New York, has run into some fairly twisted family situations herself and has decided to return to California and Decker.
