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.
Sleuth on Safari by A.R. Kennedy is a mystery with humor, great characters, and an impressive setting.
Was the terrible Dr. Higgins murdered or just careless?
Naomi and Charlotte embark on a South African safari. They are staying at an all-inclusive lodge, where they will go out on daily game drives to take pictures of animals. Ok, I seriously want to do this. It sounds amazing. Charlotte plays a game of guessing the story of the other guests. The two couples are easy enough to figure out, but then there is a woman with a young man and a teenage boy. Dr. Higgins was a jerk, but who would kill him? No one claims that they know him, and he didn’t speak to anyone as he knew them. But hyenas?
Oh, and to add fuel to Naomi’s case, the internet at the lodge is entirely out and has been since the morning after the death.
Naomi
She is the oldest of the two sisters. Naomi hasn’t found her calling in life yet, but she does read lots of mysteries. One the second night, Naomi finds the body of Dr. Higgins, and apparently, he was killed by hyenas. Seriously! In his room, sitting in a chair, killed by hyenas. Naomi doesn’t believe it. So, she starts investigating everyone at the lodge. Naomi enlists Charlotte’s assistance when possible. She clears as many as she can but still hasn’t solved the murder, until the final gathering when the internet is back up.
Four Stars
I enjoyed the characters and their relationship struggles, the scenery, and the mystery in Sleuth on Safari by A.R. Kennedy. The cover is beautiful, too. Therefore, I am giving it a rating of four stars. This book is the first in a new series, and I am looking forward to the next book.

About A.R. Kennedy
A. R. Kennedy lives in Long Beach, New York, with her two pups. She works hard to put food on the floor for them. As her favorite T-shirt says, ‘I work so my dog can have a better life’. She’s an avid traveler. But don’t worry. While she’s away, her parents dote on their grand-puppies even more than she does. Her writing is a combination of her love of travel, animals, and the journey we all take to find ourselves.
Thank you for the great review.
