But she'll need more than that if she's to unravel the mystery of the Ghosts of Tsavo without being eaten in the process. All this while surviving the machinations of her best friend's dashing godfather and the efforts of her safari guide to feed her to any lion willing to drag her away. What is a ghost-chasing widow to do? Case 1 in "Society for Paranormals" A series concerning dead husbands, African legends and the search for a perfect spot of tea. For those readers who adore "Pride & Prejudice" and would love to experience "The Parasol Protectorate" set in colonial Kenya. Don't miss Case 2: The Automaton's Wife Scroll up & Add to Cart!

Mehso-so

I just read this, it was a quick light read. it was OK but there were a number of elements that didn't ring true. Not the paranormal stuff! More the dialogue didn't always seem appropriate to the period.

The Lucifer Box novels by Mark Gatiss have some similarities in style and tone and are more successful in my opinion.

I liked the main character though and may well read the rest of the series
