Ratings and reviews

Jackal & Hide is the fourth book in the Kenya Kanga cozy mystery series. This story has a mystery but also heartbreak. Can Mama Rose bring herself to ignore a murder while at her ill husband's bedside? I love this series. The characters are realistic and likable, the mysteries are well-written, and the descriptions of Kenya are beautiful. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.
