review 1: Ran across this book at the Dollar Store and it caught my eye. Set in 1920's Africa. Full of big game, a pet leopard, Hollywood filmmakers and daring do by the "Indiana Jones" style heroine. The story and the description of colonial Africa was interesting. This is part of a series however I did not feel I was missing anything by reading this one first. It does end with a cliff hanger so I guess that means another book is in the future!
review 2: Suzanne Aruda reaches back to the post-WWI period in Nairobi, Kenya, and paints an interesting picture of a colonial British society, the African country-side, and the transitional period between the wars. The back story sets up the heroine, Jade del Cameron, as an old-fashioned American, patriotic, brave, adventu... morerous, a skilled outdoors person who has grown up on a ranch, learned to ride and shoot, served with heroism in the great war, with a tragic romantic involvement that has left her with a mission, a mission that plays out in a beautiful but dangerous and exotic locale. Entertaining and fun, a mystery story surrounded with adventure, and with an interesting ensemble of characters, a great introduction to a good series. less
