Set in Botswana and introducing Detective "Kubu", this is a nice easy read. Mixing the 21st century with the old superstitions of Africa, the authors evoke a Botswana just a little more gritty than Alexander McCall Smith's.
Having persevered through the opening chapters with changes of POV and some naive writing, I found the book an enjoyable read. One or other of the authors has a poetic tendency and this became more apparent as the book went on. I found the tying up of loose ends a little rushed compared to the rest of the book but it still made for a good read; ideal for times when you want pure escapism.
