Death in Kenya

Memories, magic--and murder lie in wait on the scorching plains of Kenya Victoria Caryll departs London for the lush jungle of her Aunt Emily's estate, Flamingo, her adventurous heart full of forbidden desire--and foreboding. Soon she will see Eden DeBrett, the man to whom she once was engaged in that magical land of her childhood. But her arrival marks the beginning of mortal danger for Victoria and her family as a mysterious evil disrupts Flamingo and soon threatens the entire Rift Valley colony with its malevolence. M.M. Kaye has composed an exotic puzzle with murder as the centerpiece. This is a story of people passionately committed to one another in a struggle to keep the life they love--until one of them becomes a murderer.

First sentence: A flock of pelicans, their white wings dyed apricot by the setting sun, sailed low over the acacia trees of the garden with a sound like tearing silk, and the sudden swish of their passing sent Alice's heart into her throat and dried her mouth with panic.
