In her Mannheim beekeeper crime novel "Bee Sting," author Brigitte Stolle not only provides insights into the mysterious life of bees but also piques curiosity about the region with her colorful excursions. Alongside appetizing forays into the world of honey, she invites readers on diverse cultural and historical explorations - from Heidelberg to Lake Constance, from Schwetzingen to ancient Egypt. During the final match of the World Cup, a man is lured into the garden by a mysterious call and dies agonizingly from bee stings. What begins as a presumed accident and suspected murder turns into a journey into the past for those involved, opening new paths and perspectives. Two years after the incident, the bereaved Almut and her son Henri encounter private detective Karla Kunstwadl, a likable investigator from Mannheim.
