Critic Reviews:

"A novel rich in imagination, detail, and surprises requires a narrator who can embrace every element of the story--Alison Larkin is that narrator. She is spot-on in her portrayal of Beatrice Knight, a member of the Society for Paranormals, and her spectacular ghost-hunting adventures in colonial Nigeria with her dead husband in tow. Though it may take a moment for listeners to acclimate to Larkin's thoroughly posh tones, her dedication pays off, and Bee's dry humor and quick wit shine through, making listeners feel as if they're chatting with an old friend. Her accents are consistent, and her sympathetic portrayal of each member of the diverse and zany cast rounds out a stellar series opener." (AudioFile)

Fun and were-lions

Africa, supernatural, lore, fantasy, steampunk, cozy-mystery, humor

Weirdly good. Set in time around the turn of the 20th century, yet filled with fantastic creatures and more. The characters are great fun and the lore of the continent of Africa is fascinating. There's plenty of subtle and overt humor, and the situational humor is guaranteed to have any reader snorting their caffeine. The publisher's blurb gives hints and there is no need for spoilers, just enjoy the unraveling of the mystery.

Paranormal Cozy Mystery

Ghosts of Tsavo is a great first in series. It is a great story that mixes many genres includig steampunk, supernatural and historical in a fantasticly seamless manner. The narrator brings the story and characters to life fabulously. I look forward to more in this series

Extremely Entertaining

If you like dry english humor and story telling you will love this book. The narrator is exceptional. I loved this story and the fact and fiction part at the end is an added bonus!

- Im guessing the way Bee speaks as a story narrator will evoke strong emotions.
