The Honey Bee — Cressida McLaughlin

‘Captivating, uplifting and heartfelt' Heat Magazine

‘A wonderful ray of reading sunshine' Heidi Swain

‘What a beautiful, heartwarming story… the perfect book to lose yourself in' Zara Stoneley

Abby Field is living the dream. As events coordinator at the Meadowsweet nature reserve on the idyllic Suffolk coast, every day is an adventure with the birds and the butterflies, and she couldn't feel more at home. When another local nature reserve is chosen as the hot location for a new television series, however, Meadowsweet looks set for seasonal hibernation â€" unless Abby can whip up a creative plan to keep the visitors flocking.

With the help of the Meadowgreen villagers, and her cute rescue huskie, Raffle, can Abby rescue the nature reserve from oblivion? Or will she be distracted by the arrival of a brooding â€" and annoyingly handsome â€" new neighbour…

The Dawn Chorus is the first part of a four-part serial.
