A bargain deal on a safari + one dead body = An adventure no one could plan for.
Naomi and her estranged sister are off on a trip of a lifetime—an African safari, a bucket list trip for Naomi on which she got a last-minute deal. Naomi thinks traveling with her sister will be the worst part of her African safari until she finds one of their fellow travelers, the unlikable Dr. Higgins, dead. She gets more adventure than she bargained for when she starts investigating what she thinks is murder but the luxury lodge says was a tragic accident. She only has a few vacation days, and a few game drives, to find the killer.

My Thoughts
Sleuth on Safari by A.R. Kennedy
is the debut of A Traveler Cozy Mystery series.
Naomi Hanley and her younger sister, Charlotte are on a vacation in Africa. Naomi saw a deal two weeks prior for an
African safari and could not resist the opportunity for her dream
vacation. What Naomi did not count on
was the finding fellow vacationer, Dr. Higgins dead in his cabin. The death is ruled a terrible accident from a
hyena attack, but Naomi has her doubts.
She believes Dr. Higgins was murdered and sets out to find the
killer. Sleuth on Safari is a unique
cozy mystery with its traveling theme. A.R.
Kennedy takes us to Africa with her detailed descriptions which allow the
reader to visualize the scenes. I
especially enjoyed the depictions of the scenery and the animals. I can tell the author has been to Africa from
the scenes with the animals. They were
very realistic. Naomi and Charlotte are
your typical bickering sisters. Charlotte
is a medical student who is prepared and always does right in their mother’s
eyes while Nami works in customer service (I see nothing wrong with that), was
ill prepared for the trip (did not pack the right items, read the materials or
listen to the orientation), and tends to find herself in awkward
situations. The mystery had multiple suspects along with
good clues. I did not understand Naomi’s
insistence on looking into the death. She
seemed obsessed with searching for clues and asking questions (instead of
relaxing and enjoying her vacation). I
wondered if there was something in her past or if she is just plain curious. Naomi
seemed determined to find the killer before they left the lodge. The reveal was
a Mrs. Fletcher moment. I hope the
author takes time to flesh out Naomi in the next book. I want to know more about her background and
her life choices. Sleuth on Safari is a
lighthearted cozy mystery with raging rhinos, splendiferous views, high pitched
hyenas, elegant elephants, a frustrating sister and a surprise demise.
