This is the 3rd and last of the "Kubu" series in Botswana. The stories are okay, the plots are too, but maybe I'm just too used to real life (like in the CIA, FBI, Marines, Army, (no Navy so far) and am tired of Kubu and Joy (his wife) getting along so well. Nothing more boring in a mystery than a happily married man.....

I do like the idea of the prevalence of wildlife; crocs lying around the riverbank, snakes, lions, tigers hippos, roaming at night, hyenas where they want to be, it's kind of cool the way the population is accustomed to these things.
