The Honey Guide, by journalist Richard Crompton is part of a projected series of books set in Kenya.“The Honey Guide is not the first mystery novel to be set in Kenya, but it must be the first in which the cop hero is a Masai warrior. Mollel, whose wife was killed in the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, investigates the brutal murder of a prostitute. He is drawn into nasty local politics and corruption as Kenya holds its 2007 general elections and faces the violence that follows. National events and Mollel’s family problems are blended into a good plot and an interesting cast of characters.” – The Times
