Socrates' Book Reviews The characters are quirky and well developed. Overall, very enjoyable. Recommended. Fowl Murder is an enjoyable book, full of local color and believable characters. The mystery itself is intriguing and entertaining. It's set in Africa and that's not the settings for the usual mysteries. I really enjoyed it... It was well written and the characters were really awesome.

Charming new series set in Kenya has captured my heart If you love Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, you will enjoy the Kenya Kanga Mysteries. Both authors give a sense of a people 'seen', and have intimate knowledge of a country and it's quirky ways. Ms Tait's evocative descriptions allow one to feel the heat, smell the dust, and be immersed in the unique experience that is Africa. If like me, you know it well, you will feel a sense of homecoming. If you are new to Africa, take a leap into a magical new world and be entertained as Rose solves mysteries that you will not find in the drawing rooms of Britain!

They all feel so real....and like I was there in the middle of it. I really enjoyed and found it very relaxing. Goodreads Review
