He has worked as a journalist in the UK, Kenya and Australia, writing for publications such as the Daily Telegraph and Australian Geographic. He is the author of two previous novels, Confessing a Murder, Love and the Platypus.
Drayson's tale, spiked with a comtemporary sensibility and wit, teases apart the strands of life in Nairobi... More than that, it's a page-turner... Charming, certainly, but far from cloying * Wanderlust * Heart-warming, I was charmed . . . akin to the No 1 Ladies Detective AgencySeries [with] a flavour all its own * Richard Fortey * A charming satire - think William Boyd's A Good Man of Africa with a dash of Alexander McCall Smith * Conde Nast Traveller * A perfect holiday read * Prima * Sweet, charming and utterly wonderful on the subject of birds * Metro * A delightful comedy... It invites comparison to The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency books, but it's original and, if anything, has more depth * Daily Mail * An enchanting comedy of bird-watching, love and African life * Woman & Home * A book of immense charm; a sort of P G Wodehouse meets Alexander McCall Smith * Joanne Harris *
