Summary
Georgie and Darcy are finally on their honeymoon in Kenya's Happy Valley, but murder crashes the party in this all-new installment in the New York Times best-selling series.
I was so excited when Darcy announced out of the blue that we were flying to Kenya for our extended honeymoon. Now that we are here, I suspect he has actually been sent to fulfill another secret mission. I am trying very hard not to pick a fight about it, because after all, we are in paradise! Darcy finally confides that there have been robberies in London and Paris. It seems the thief was a member of the aristocracy and may have fled to Kenya. Since we are staying in the Happy Valley - the center of upper-class English life - we are well positioned to hunt for clues and ferret out possible suspects.
Now that I am a sophisticated married woman, I am doing my best to sound like one. But crikey! These aristocrats are a thoroughly loathsome sort enjoying a completely decadent lifestyle filled with wild parties and rampant infidelity. And one of the leading lights in the community, Lord Cheriton, has the nerve to make a play for me. While I am on my honeymoon! Of course, I put an end to that right off.
When he is found bloodied and lifeless along a lonely stretch of road, it appears he fell victim to a lion. But it seems that the Happy Valley community wants to close the case a bit too quickly. Darcy and I soon discover that there is much more than a simple robbery and an animal attack to contend with here in Kenya. Nearly everyone has a motive to want Lord Cheriton dead and some will go to great lengths to silence anyone who asks too many questions. The hunt is on! I just hope I can survive my honeymoon long enough to catch a killer....

Really enjoyed this
I'm glad I ignored recent negative reviews. Enjoyable story, did not have a problem with narration, and the postscript was fascinating!

interesting accent
I know it has been difficult replacing the much loved previous narrator but, although this narrator does well with other characters, her upper class accents are a little off- perhaps modelled on the upwardly middle class.

Another interesting who dun-nit - honestly can’t get enough of Rhys Bowens writing
The characters were colourful and I didn’t solve this one this time so must’ve been good !!

Great!
Really enjoyed this, the story was convincing and the characters varied, most I liked, one or two not so much, showing how good the writing is. After the last book, I thought I would give it another try as I like the series so much, but the new narrator spoilt it for me. I realise it’s such big shoes to fill, however I was pleasantly surprised, her accent and the pronunciation has really improved and as such could enjoy the story so much more. Well done Jasmine Blackborow! Looking forward to the next now.

Brilliant
I have read most of the books in the series and for me, this is one of the best. Maybe it is because of the different environment. Top marks for the story and the narration. There is some criticism of the narrator in the reviews. I cannot agree with them. I enjoyed both the content and the delivery of the book.

series as a whole going downhill, disappointing
The heroine's character and speech becoming increasingly asinine; narrator overdoing emotion etc. The storyline was OK
