Tod in Kenia (Death in... #4)

Kaye vividly depicts colonial Kenya, but I wonder how much was driven by research versus storytelling. Did others feel the setting felt authentic without overwhelming the plot?

The suspense felt very layered and immersive, but I was surprised by how much emphasis was on the environment and characters' inner worlds. Was that intentional?

The setting feels so integral to the story's mood—I'm curious whether the author was inspired by real events or a desire to explore a particular history.
