Review: Murder on the Safari Star

Murder on the Safari Star by M.G. Leonard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the previous two books in this series, so I was really excited to receive a review copy of Murder on the Safari Star. I was not disappointed.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book. Both Hal and his uncle Nat are excellent characters, who I’ve grown to love over the course of the series. This book has a great cast of supporting characters, and, as always, they are all well drawn, with their own motivations.

There are plenty of amusing moments, as well as exciting ones.

As always, I love the illustrations by Elisa Paganelli. They really bring the story to life, and add a whole new layer to my enjoyment. I particularly liked the little mongoose drawings at the beginnings of the chapters. Having read the previous two stories in paperback, I was concerned that the illustrations would not come across well in the ebook edition - however, they are just as brilliant as in paperback.

In conclusion, this was yet another winning collaboration from M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman, with illustrations by Elisa Paganelli. There’s plenty of adventure, humour, and a nice mystery to solve. I’m already looking forward to reading the next instalment of the series.

I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.
