A darkly comic novel about the sticky politics of race, sex, violence and love β told through the eyes of a serial killer
The first time, Yrsa doesnβt 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 heβll get a nasty sting.
Then heβs dead. And Yrsa, who β letβs face it β has been bored for a while, is alive.
Itβs a sweet feeling, finally having some control.
Comic, sexy, addictive, unpredictable, Honey launches an exciting new voice in fiction.
The essential next read for fans of Butter, My Sister the Serial Killer, Such a Fun Age, Luster, or Boy Parts.
βYrsa serves up the unhinged hot girl homicide I didnβt know I neededβ SOPHIE DUKER
