I'm trawling about for titles. I've got a patron who is going to South
Africa and would like to read some mysteries set in Africa in general, if
we can get more specific that's great. I've found books set in Egypt but
not a whole lot outside of that. I've used What Mystery Do I Read
Next? and BookBrowser on the web and have gotten a few names, James
McClure and Karin McQuillan specifically...also Mrs. Polifax on Safari!

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help.

Elspeth Huxley (The African poison murders, and others) and Elizabeth Peters (the last camel died at noon, and others) are a couple of writers who comes to mind. Also Michael Pearce's "Mamur Zapt" series, which I've not read. Sounds like a great trip -- lucky patron!

There is an older series (1970s-80s) by James McClure featuring a white
South African police detective and his Bantu assistant. Dick Francis's
Smokescreen is another title from the 1970s. Even older would be Agatha
Christie's The Man in the Brown Suit.

FROM: Susan K Sanders <[removed]@scls.lib.wi.us>
DATE: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 09:14:03 -0600

I think a few of these may have been mentioned already but...

set in South Africa specifically:

McClure, James
The Song Dog (and others)

Francis, Dick
Smokescreen

Lawton, Moyra F.
Before the Face of the Sun

Jones, J.D.F.
The Buchan Papers

Set in Africa in general:

Kaye, M. M. (Mary Margaret)
Death in Zanzibar
Death in Kenya

Dold, Gaylord
The World Beat

Gilman, Dorothy
Mrs. Pollifax and the lion killer

Rawlinson, Peter
Indictment for Murder

also, not really a classic mystery, but "mysterious" anyway, and very
evocative of West Africa (Sierra Leone):

Dooling, Richard
White Man's Grave

I don't recall yet seeing mention of Matthew Head's African mysteries
(THE CABINDA AFFAIR; DEVIL IN THE BUSH; and one or two others I've
forgotten but once enjoyed) or of Charlotte Jay's BEAT NOT THE BONES.

More to the point, see if someone near you has a copy of Allen J. Hubin's
bibliography CRIME FICTION II or the new edition which is on cd-rom
only (for about $50). Among other things, it has an index by settings;
I just checked our copy and there are several hundred (!!) mysteries
listed under "Africa," "Africa, East," etc., names of individual
countries (several dozen under "South Africa" with more under individual
cities e.g. Capetown, Johannesburg...).

If no library near you holds a copy of this to consult, contact me
offlist and I'll send you a copy of the relevant pages.

Not quite a mystery but could be worth a try if the patron wants to get the
feel for South Africa;

The House Gun by Nadine Gordimer

John Wyllie wrote an excellent series of mysteries set in Africa & featuring the African Dr. Quarshie as investigator. They were published by Doubleday for their Crime Club. Two titles are SKULL STILL BONE (1975) and DEATH IS A DRUM ... BEATING FOREVER (1977).

If your patron would consider true crime, a good book is White Mischief by
James Fox. Murder story set in the wealthy upper class "white highlands"
area of Kenya in the 40's.

The Sunbird, though (one of the best books I've ever read), does have a
"mystery" involved. That one might be good.

Cracks by Sheila Kohler might be of interest to your patron. It is set at a remote boarding school in South Africa and almost reminded me of a female version of Lord of the Flies. The story alternates between the present and 20 or more years ago, when one of the swim team members disappeared.

Francis King, Act of Darkness

This is more of a psychological suspense than a
mystery, it does involve a murder and I thought it was
a terrific book.

Last year on PBS (Mystery or Masterpiece Theatre) there was an excellent
series on an disgraced British policeman who was now working in Kenya (I
think). His friend/lover was a pilot. Can't remember the series but does
anyone know if these were based on books?

The series was called Heat of the Sun. The PBS site shows that each episode
was written by different people and gives no credit to the whole being
inspired by a book. (I liked it too.)
