Post WW1 Colonial British East Africa settings. 2 very strong, full rounded women, good strong male characters and African characters not set up as cute background or folkloric decor. There is the influx of popular culture with a tiny hint of irony since Arruda uses Burroughs' Tarzan to contrast with her depictions of this area. Not vines to use for traveling but cars that break, early cinema and modern photography. Arruda takes you to a place where you are entertained by the mystery but also nourished with an history and culture that she depicts with intelligence and style. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Fiction.
Mystery.
On a photography assignment in the northern territory of Mount Marsabit, American adventuress Jade del Cameron and her friends hope to film the area's colossal elephants. Instead, they discover the mutilated remains of four elephants and a man. Although the authorities suspect Abyssinian poachers and raiders in search of ivory and slaves, Jade has her own suspicions. Could it have been Harry Hascombe, her nemesis and unremitting suitor? Soon the Kikuyu boy accompanying her is captured by slave traders. Ultimately, it will take all of Jade's mettle to rescue her guide from slave traders, protect the animals, and expose another kind of beast. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I thought the mystery was very well constructed. The secondary characters are quite interesting, especially Jelani, the young boy Jade is determined to help. He also travels along with Jade, babysitting her pet cheetah, Biscuit. Sometimes the main character can be a bit unrealistic. Nevertheless, this is a series I often read when looking for an escapist read.
