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....
