kill the queen bee

Black and white photograph of a log cabin in bare winter woods

Thrilleromance · First draft in progress

Trapped in a remote cabin with gossipy socialites, and the queen bee goes missing, survival means Meg must find the true backstabber before more lives are lost. A juicy, character-driven whodunit psychological thriller with romance. A hidden ledger found post-mortem leads to a high-stakes puzzle where almost everyone in the cabin has a motivating, life-ruining reason to want her dead.
