Death in Zanzibar

Rating:
Summary: The Best
Review: I love M.M Kaye's "Death in.." series but I would have to say that my two favorites are 'Death in Zanzibar' and Death in the Andamans! This was the first book I read of her series and ever since, I have been addicted. This was the most romantic in the series and I found it difficult to foil the ending...her endings are killer (no pun intended!)

Summary: All right if you like that sort of thing
Review: Rather run-of-the-mill British-style (i.e., improbable persons doing improbable things) murder mystery with the usual, somewhat tired cast of supposedly interesting characters in an exotic location. Could have used less of the British jet-set and more Zanzibar. "Trade Wind" (also set in Zanzibar) is better.

Summary: This is a really grest mystery which is seldom found out.
Review: This mystery is some young pretty but a little bit stupid (sorry about my expression. but if you read the first half, you will agree with me. At first I was reaaly irriated by the stupidness and passiveness though she's insulted and faced the danger, and later I laughed at her reaction in front of the killer) girls adventure from London to Zanzibar, Tanzania in West Africa.
The strong point which attracts the many people is that the people in this fiction are alive and very interesting, especially Lash and Tyson. After the first half. I couldn't drop this book from my hands, and sat up all night (so tired but I could't help it. It's FUN!). I kept thinking who the killer was, and the progress of reasoning is also a great pleasure to me.

This book is a really grest mystery which is seldom found out, but the reason why I gave 4 stars instead five is, you know, the heroine. You know, that style is no more attractive. And rather that irriates many people (think about Melanie Griffith in Working girl. That type get to lead the situation at first but finally turns to the male hero after facing the deadlock, only becoming a traditional passive heorine. Come on! No one likes that kind of girl nowadays!)
