In Love and Death among the Cheetahs by Rhys Bowen, a group of hard-partying British aristocrats on holiday in Kenya find their revels cut short when one of their number is found dead, the apparent victim of a lion attack. But house guest and sometime detective Georgiana Rannoch, already on the hunt for an audacious thief among the revelers, suspects foul play. Fans of Kerry Greenwood’s Phryne Fisher, Agatha Christie’s Poirot or Dorothy Sayers’s Peter Wimsey would be well advised to give Georgie a chance.
