In this second Detective Kubu mystery, Michael Stanley’s memorable detective faces another challenging case that mixes murder and smuggling in politically charged northern Botswana.

Two vicious murders, only hours apart.

Normally a peaceful wilderness retreat, the Jackalberry bush camp has suddenly become a ghastly crime scene---and the details are still emerging when Detective David "Kubu" Bengu is assigned to the case. Zimbabwean teacher Goodluck Tinubu and another tourist have been found bludgeoned to death, while another guest at the camp---rumored to be a dissident wanted in Zimbabwe---has disappeared without a trace.

With the local police unable---or unwilling---to provide much assistance, Detective Kubu relies on his own instincts to track down those responsible for the crimes. But a startling piece of forensic evidence from Goodluck Tinubu's murder adds a complicated twist to the investigation, and Kubu must work fast to solve a seemingly impossible riddle before any more Jackalberry guests meet their death. Suspecting that everyone at the camp has something to hide, the wily detective from Gaborone sets a clever trap to find the truth.

The memorable Kubu of A Carrion Death returns in this gripping story of murder, greed, and hidden motives. Set in northern Botswana, amid lush vegetation and teeming wildlife, The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu captures the intense loyalties and struggles taking place at the country's borders---and the shattered dreams of those living just outside this modern democracy.

Another nice entry in the series. The settings are always exotic and yet familiar. The characters, even some of the "bad guys," are fleshed out and the plots are satisfying ( )

The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu

Botswanan detective Kubu is called in to solve a double murder at a nature camp. More deaths follow, and Kubu has to labor to find the real motive for the killings -- without missing a meal. (Kubu is the Botswanan word for hippopotamus.) ( )

The second book in the Detective Kubu Bengu series. Kabu is called upon to solve the deaths of two men at a tourist camp, one of whom supposedly died years ago. His family is endangered as he seeks answers. The book was good although the story was very long and complex. It could have benefited from a bit more editing. 3 1/2 stars. ( )

This second installment in the Kubu series was just a good as the first. With lots of twist and turns it was a great book to listen to though it might have been a slow read. ( )

The farewells had been said many years ago, so Goodluck hugged his old comrade and left without a word. He zipped the tent door closed and started along the path to his own bush tent.
