Georgiana Rannoch (23^rd in line for the throne) is on her honeymoon. Her husband has planned it, and promises something wonderful, but she does not expect it to take them to Africa! Naturally, not all goes as planned when, after a wild party, one of those who was there (and was among the wildest) is found dead on the road home. Turns out, both Georgiana and her husband are there for other reasons. She has been asked (by the Queen) to keep an eye on her son and ‘that American woman’, and he, well, we don’t know exactly why he’s there! Love and Death Among the Cheetahs is one of the Royal Spyness Mystery books by Rhys Bowen. Wonderful descriptions, but I’m glad to live here and not there!

I was pleased to discover that the next Markham Sister’s Collection (MNOP) was out in print form. It didn’t take long to read the first story: The Moody Case. The B&B is full (it’s really just two rooms), this time, unusually, with two single men. They don’t know each other. Or do they? There are some strange things going on in the small town of Derbyshire and the Markham sisters are determined to find out the what, why, and who. These are fun little mysteries by Diana Xarissa.
