The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the charming setting of Botswana. Specific critiques? Perhaps the mystery could have been a bit more suspenseful, but this small quibble is far outweighed by the overall charm and character development. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone who enjoys a good, old-fashioned whodunit with a dash of philosophy.
