Paris, January 1943: the war rages throughout Europe, but France lies under an enforced and uneasy occupation...
Detectives Jean-Louis St-Cyr of the Surete Nationale and Hermann Kohler of the Gestapo are back in Paris after Madrigal, a strange and dangerous case in Avignon. But they barely have time to draw breath before they are poking around in the darkened restaurant of the Gare du Lyon looking into a missing shipment of honey. The signals coming down from high are ominous - important interests are involved, and it is clear that they must exercise extreme caution. Why honey? Because a beekeeper in Belleville has been murdered; the new widow has connections she would rather not go into, and before long the ramifications of this case stretch all the way to Switzerland - and Stalingrad, graveyard to Hitler's war effort...
Set against the oppressive backdrop of a captive society, this is the latest novel in an astonishingly original and gripping series of crime novels.

The format used to tell the story turned me off. It was as if it was meant to be a script for a movie of the week, rather than an serious examination of the crime.

It was a good read overall; fleshed out Russell's background and tried to stay true to Holmes' character. It bogged down into overwhelming detail in places, and when you found out the answer to the secret in Russell's childhood, it didn't measure up to the build-up throughout the book

There may eventually have been some good trivia in this book, but it was interspersed with such inane, disgusting and unnecessary claptrap that it was ruined for me. I do not need (or even want, in this case) the authors to show me all the lewd discussion leading up to trivia material. If you're buying it for the interesting title, don't. There is no convincing answer provided to that question - just ask your grandmother, as they did.
