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 bestselling 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. . . .
