Review - Murder on the Safari Star by M.G. Leonard and Book Review - Murder on the Safari Star by M.G. Leonard and

Het verhaal leest gemakkelijk weg, het taalgebruik is duidelijk en de illustraties maken het helemaal af. Each new setting and each new cast of characters presents different challenges to Hal and Uncle Nat and I just love watching them navigate it all. This one definitely feels like it has more danger about it than the others, regarding certain themes throughout the book. Ross Montgomery, author of Perijee and Me Wildly funny, with hairpin plot bends and inventive characters, this series is firmly on track to become a bestseller. Drawing Africa’s amazing wild animals from on board a spectacular steam train described as a luxury hotel on wheels, should be enough excitement for anyone.Alleen Nicole verraste me op het einde nog even, want op mijn zeventiende was ik in elk geval niet zo daadkrachtig als zij (al heb ik ook nooit plannen gehad om business management op Harvard te gaan studeren, oké, kan ik het helpen).

Murder on the Safari Star by M.G. Leonard, Sam Sedgman

Uncle Nat is taking Hal on the journey of a lifetime, travelling on the world-famous Safari Star from Pretoria to Victoria Falls. I became quite invested in certain characters and felt my heart-rate rising as they fell under suspicion. I was pleased to see that the galley had the illustrations in, as they really help make the books, and are honestly so fantastic. Because they are so grounded now in who they are, I'm always excited to see how they interact with a new cast of characters, and who Hal makes friends with next.Close encounters with the amazing animals and landscape of Southern Africa are adventure enough, but things get mysterious when a passenger is found dead inside a locked compartment. After train journeys in his native-UK and in the USA, it's now February holiday and this time Hal is joining his Uncle Nat in South Africa for a trip on the classic Safari Star.

Harrison Beck has already solved a kidnapping and caught a jewel thief, so when his Uncle Nat treats him to a trip on the luxurious Safari Star in Africa, he can't help but hope that another mystery will be waiting for him.

Within 10%, we're already in South Africa, boarding the train and meeting the players of our soon-to-be mystery. Ross Welford, author of Time Travelling with a Hamster on The Highland Falcon Thief I have a station announcement: their collaboration is a chuffing triumph.
