2 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Michael Stanley's Dying to Live is the sixth crime novel to feature the humble and endearing Detective Kubu, set against the richly beautiful backdrop of Botswana. "A fantastic read. Brilliant!" -Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author of The Long Way Home A Bushman is discovered dead near the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Africa. Although the man looks old enough to have died of natural causes, the police suspect foul play, and the body is sent to Gaborone for an autopsy. Pathologist Ian MacGregor confirms the cause of death as a broken neck, but is greatly puzzled by the mans physiology. Although hes obviously very old, his internal organs look remarkably young. He calls in Assistant Superintendent David Kubu Bengu. When the Bushmans corpse is stolen from the morgue, suddenly the case takes on a new dimension.

Enjoyed the sixth in the Detective Kubu series. I like the Botswana setting, the Bushmen, the witch doctors, and how Kubu enjoys his treats. I keep expecting Detective Kubu to run into Precious Ramotswe of the No. 1 Ladies‘ Detective Agency or to have his car serviced by Mr. JLB Matekoni😉

#catsoflitsy That‘s Teddy up in the closet caught mid-chomp enjoying the dried hydrangeas. I gave up trying to hide them from him. He loves to destroy them😸

Tamra Yes!! Must read. 7y
SandyW If I have flowers in a vase, the moment they begin to die, my boy 🐱 is eating them. He's especially fond of dried roses! 7y
