Reviews
Praise for A Death in the Family : "This fifth mystery featuring Detective Kubu is another fast moving procedural notable for its warm characterizations and vivid sense of place. A natural for fans of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency." -- Booklist "Stanley and Kubu deserve much more critical and commercial attention than they have been receiving; hopefully this latest installment will rectify that shortcoming." -- Bookreporter "If you love Alexander McCall Smith's The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books, are you going to like Michael Stanley's Detective Kubu? Chances are very good that you will." -- Kitlling: Books Praise for The Detective Kubu series: "Detective Kubu is the African Columbo." -- Entertainment Weekly "Readers may be lured to Africa by the landscape, but it takes a great character like Kubu to win our loyalty."-- New York Times Book Review "A fascinating crime series. Detective David 'Kubu' Bengu is a wonderful creation, complex and beguiling...Compelling and deceptively written."-- New York Journal of Books "Impossible to put down.

Brilliant!" --Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author of The Long Way Home "Under the African sun, Michael Stanley's Detective Kubu investigates crimes as dark as the darkest of Nordic Noir.
