Predators by Frederick Ramsay - 4.5 stars (Botswana Mystery #1)

[Megalion]

A very easy yet filling read with something for everyone.

I was strongly reminded of Wilbur Smith's fondness for settings far away from the US and Michael Crichton's ability to layer multiple points of view and subplots without losing the reader.

My favorite elements: the time in Botswana, the gamekeeper with a dying son who had the additional burden of dealing with severe gender discrimination from her boss, and two of the myriad characters who took a turn at POV were a lion and a gray monkey.

I find hard to assign to any particular genre. But it' an easy recommendation. I will be picking up the next book very soon!

Sounds very intriguing. I've never read Wilbur Smith, but like Michael Crichton. The setting sounds unique.

Sounds interesting! On the TBR it goes...

Reminds me, I've got the next two ready to go! My immediate TBR shelf blew up a bit with ARCs. Which is actually why I read this in first place. One is the 3rd book.
