Curse of the Nandi by Vered Ehsani
Jane Austen meets Lara Croft: a paranormal detective refuses to let danger and death inconvenience her in colonial Kenya. Mrs. Knight's most exciting adventure yet!
Mrs. Beatrice Knight is preparing to start a life of marital bliss, or at least marital satisfaction, with her new husband who fortunately is very much alive and can’t float through walls. While she is no expert on honeymoons, she’s certain that they shouldn’t involve brainless heads, bloodsucking fireflies and Bubonic Plague.

These however are mere inconveniences, for there’s another threat of greater significance: the Nandi are rising up against their colonial masters and are determined to rid the land of all things British. The intrepid Mrs. Knight faces all this with her usual aplomb, her hefty walking stick and, of course, a pot of tea. But will her marriage survive?

“This is, by far, the most entertaining book of this series to date.“
Curse of the Nandi is the fifth case in “Society for Paranormals”, where African myth meets Victorian manners. If you adore “Pride & Prejudice”, appreciate British humor, enjoy paranormal mysteries, or would love to experience adventure in colonial Africa, buy Curse of the Nandi to resume your supernatural safari!

“I love how Mrs. Knight's relationships with the other main characters have developed. It's gratifying to see such a beloved character be able to tap into feelings that have long been subdued, or that were never quite there to begin with - while maintaining propriety, of course!  Such fun, tenderness, excitement, dread, etc. Fabulous!”

“This is, by far, the most entertaining book of this series to date. Mr. Timmons comes across as real. Sure, he is protective, but will listen to reason AND has a sense of humor. I had trouble putting the story down and attending to necessary chores.”

“I  found it delightful. The cast of  characters is ever changing but never in a convoluted  way. They evolved  with the storyline as they should. Beatrice is ahead  of  her time in thought and action. Even  though  the  story  takes place in the early 1900's, she is still a  good  role model  for  the  young  women  of today. Bravo! I'm  not  sure  if  that's  what  the  author  was aiming  for, when she  crafted a main character that was interesting, intelligent, independent, yet still gracious  and well  somewhat  concerned  with  decorum. This, however, is what has been masterfully achieved.”
