Negative Positive
Title: Love her, love her, love her!
Review: If you want a lush period mystery that will keep you guessing, set somewhere exotic and far away, and with a little romantic action thrown in - you can't go wrong with an M.M. Kaye - a wonderful story-teller who knows how to write vivid description without interfering with the story, and dialogue that is realistic, witty and makes you hear the voices in your head and really get to know the characters. These books run like movies in your head. Don't stop with these three - find Death in the Andamans, Death in Berlin, Death in Kashmir. And if you enjoy Death in Zanzibar and want to know what happened 100 years earlier, go read Kaye's Trade Wind too- an historical novel set in Zanzibar - you'll be annoyed with the heroine til she finally wizes up (but that's the point), but you'll love the story, the intrigue, and the magnetic hero.
