Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-21 00:00:00 Fred Schnee This was an interesting romp through the 1920s wealthy people go safariing in Kenya. A few real people pass by, Beryl Markham, Karen Blixen, Denys Finch-Harron just to set the stage. My favorite part of what was then referred to as 'The Happy Valley' outside Nairobi was the house party where jazz music, cocaine, and a lovely game of choose a room key and see who might be waiting for you there to spend the night . . . But I digress (that party was just so I'll say amazing?). Off on safari to bag trophies to mount on the wall back home in Chicago and then someone bags Uncle Dixon's wife and a Lord while naked together early one morning . . . Was it Uncle Dixon in a jealous rage . . . Or someone else for any number of other nefarious reasons. Sloane asks her friend/employer, Bedford Green (an art dealer and former newspaper gossip columnest) to investigate and free her Uncle Dixon. A wild ride follows.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-04-03 00:00:00 William Silver A SHRINE OF MURDERS (Amateur Sleuth-England-1471) - G+ Grace, C. L. (aka P.C. Doherty), 1st of series St. Martin's Press, 1993-Hardcover Kathryn Swinbrook is a physician in 15th century Canterbury. Pilgrims come from everywhere to visit the shrine of Thomas Beckett, and someone is killing them and leaving short poems pinned to the Cathedral doors. Kathryn, along with Irishman and soldier for the crown Colum Murtagn, is asked by the town officials. *** I quite enjoyed this. Although there were anachronisms aplenty, it is true that there were women physicians during this time. The clues were fairly obvious, but the use of herbology, use of Chaucer's poems and the position of women during the time was very interesting. The characters were good, particularly Kathryn's servant Thomasina and I didn't mind either the secondary plot or the budding romance between Kathryn and Colum. It's a light, quick read good for a Sunday afternoon.
