The History of Bees by Maja Lunde
4.0

ARC received from NetGalley

It starts slow, very slow, it's not until about the halfway point that it starts getting exciting, and then around the 60% mark - that was when it sucked me in. I was concerned until that point, worried that it was just not ever going to get engaging, but then it did. It's really well written, and there's a lot of twists in there that you just don't see coming until Lunde gives a few skilful twists that leave you wide eyed at the way the dots have suddenly connected.
