Love and Death Among the Cheetahs

I actually hadn't read any of the other books in the series, but I was able to pick this one up just fine. The author gave a very thoughtful note at the beginning about historical context, and it seemed to me the world was very carefully drawn. That said, it did take some time before the action really started, and even longer before the murder. And then the wrap-up was a bit abrupt. Nonetheless, I enjoyed our narrator very much, and this was a fun vacation read!
