review 1: Lively, engaging, and full of surprises. This is a wonderful new series set in the Belgian Congo during the 1940s. Amanda Brown travels into the jungle to find a young white girl abandoned as a baby. The infant was discovered by a remote tribe and has been raised to the age of 13 away from the influence of whites. Amanda’s quest is not without complication. Accompanied by the Witch Doctor’s Wife and police chief Captain Peter Jardin, Amanda is sure to have adventure!
review 2: I received this book as part of the ER program. However, I never would have requested it if I had realized that it was actually the second book in a series, something that the ER description doesn't mention. To be fair, this book does work as a stand alone novel, but there are a ... morefew allusions to the previous book and the entire time I was reading I just had the feeling that I was missing something. This is a mystery set in the 1950s Belgian Congo, and it does provide an interesting look at the juxtaposition of the native and missionary cultures. Overall though, the story was not that compelling and I didn't feel the need to seek out other books in the series. less
