The first time, Yrsa doesn’t intend to kill.
But the Cambridge professor sitting opposite has manipulated her friend, stolen her research. When she flicks the bee into his Sanpellegrino, she thinks he’ll get a nasty sting.
Then he’s dead. And Yrsa, who – let’s face it – has been bored for a while, is alive.
It’s a sweet feeling, finally having some control.
Comic, sexy, addictive, unpredictable, Honey is about the not-always-righteous path of taking justice into your own hands.

Boken lover å være både mørk og humoristisk, med en «unhinged» hovedperson. Jeg fant ikke et snev av humor og hele boken føltes bare 100% deprimerende. Hovedpersonen er ikke bare umulig å like, det er også umulig å sympatisere med handlingene hennes på noe som helst plan. Hun fremstilles som en psykopat uten sjarm, rett og slett ubehagelig og dyster. Hele premisset for boken er bare tragisk uten noe form for håp eller løsning. Denne fikk jeg rett og slett ingenting ut av, dessverre!
