ReviewsPraise for Love and Death Among The Cheetahs "An appealing addition to the Royal Spyness mystery series, with hints of the political upheavals that lie ahead."-- Booklist "Bowen provides more social commentary than usual in this lighthearted series, revealing the careless bigotry and racism of the aristocratic Brits in Kenya, and the tale is all the better for it."-- Kirkus Reviews "Rhys Bowen just keeps on going. This 13th tale is just as sharp, keen, and interesting as the twelve that have come before."-- Suspense Magazine, Praise for Love and Death Among The Cheetahs "An appealing addition to the Royal Spyness mystery series, with hints of the political upheavals that lie ahead."-- Booklist "Bowen provides more social commentary than usual in this lighthearted series, revealing the careless bigotry and racism of the aristocratic Brits in Kenya, and the tale is all the better for it."-- Kirkus Reviews

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.

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. . . .
