A uniquely charming, witty and touching novel of life, love and safari

The engaging sequel to Nicholas Drayson's much-loved A Guide to the Birds of East Africa sees the return of Mr Malik and the East African Ornithological Society.

Mr Malik has been busy planning the Asadi Club's annual safari. Yet a series of crimes puts the club's very existence at risk. It is up to Mr

Malik and Co. to solve a decades-old murder, recover the club mascot and

identify, once and for all, the most dangerous beast in Africa.

Not to mention his only daughter may - or may not - be getting married in a week.

Will Mr Malik again prevail over Kenyan politics, a reluctant bride and buried secrets?

Reviews for A Guide to the Beasts of East Africa

A gentle alternative world just waiting to be explored...put aside your woes and cares and give yourself a treat -- Guy Pringle * newbooks * 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 on A Guide to the Birds of East Africa * A book of immense charm; a sort of P G Wodehouse meets Alexander McCall Smith -- Joanne Harris * on A Guide to the Birds of East Africa *
