Ghosts of Tsavo

By Vered Ehsani

Ghosts of Tsavo is the first in a series concerning dead husbands, African legends and the search for a perfect spot of tea. I wrote it for those readers who adore “Pride & Prejudice” and would love to experience “The Parasol Protectorate” set in colonial Africa. So basically I wrote it for myself. Ghosts of Tsavo introduces paranormal investigator Beatrice Knight as she travels to colonial Kenya and lands herself in the middle of a mystery involving man-eating lions and other inconveniences. Armed with Victorian etiquette, a fully loaded walking stick and a dead husband, Mrs Knight is desperate for a pot of tea. What she ends up with are the machinations of her best friend’s dashing godfather and the efforts of her safari guide to feed her to the lions. Throughout the series, I’ve woven in African mythology and cultural tidbits into the story, while attempting to be true to the historical facts of the time and place. This involved a bit (or rather, a lot) of research, but living in Kenya for the past 14+ years helps with getting the ambience and environment into the book.
