4.0 out of 5 stars Murder for power, June 25, 2010

Marie Taylor "granmarie" (Aurora, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Murder at Government House (Crime, Penguin) (Mass Market Paperback)

Dig into the social and political machinations of Kenyan politics during the empire, when there was talk of joining colonies under one administration. This is a who-done-it involving characters of great interest, the sometimes oddball, sometimes absolutely correct characters who lived and governed in Kenya before independence. Elspeth Huxley does it again, writing a mystery based on her knowledge of Kenya and its inhabitants, and the machinations of the society.
