Murder On Safari by Peter Riva – Book Review & Giveaway

Murder On Safari

Murder On Safari – Book Review

Have you ever had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Do you wonder how you would respond if you ever found yourself in a life or death situation?

That’s the situation reality television producer Pero Balatazar faces when he travels to East Africa to reunite with old friend and expert safari guide Mbuno in Murder On Safari – A Thriller by Peter Riva.

On the surface, Pero’s trip sounds like the working adventure of a lifetime: traveling throughout Africa, filming scenes of soaring vultures in Northern Kenya and giant sea crocodiles in Tanzania – even working with a world-renown crocodile expert named Mary!

Yes, it should be the highlight of his career – but it doesn’t take long before his dream assignment turns into a living nightmare!

First, Pero discovers that one of his crew members has been shot and killed for no apparent reason. As a result, the crew wraps up filming and leaves their location in a hurry – but Pero cannot shake the feeling that they are being followed by someone who wishes their group harm.

As Pero continues to investigate why his crew member was murdered, he stumbles upon a frightening discovery. There are terrorists about to launch a massive attack to cause civil unrest in the already volatile world of Africa. As if this isn’t bad enough, the target is an upcoming mega-event featuring the world’s top tele-evangelist, who just happens to be Mary’s dad!

Along the way, we discover that Pero isn’t exactly your average reality show producer. In actuality, he works as an “Observer” for the CIA and State Department, reporting things of interest to them as he travels around the world.

Have Pero’s or Mary’s presence put their entire group in danger? Will they be able to save themselves and prevent an upcoming tragedy from happening?

Murder On Safari is an exciting thriller that engages readers from the start with its picturesque and cultural details of Africa and with its multi-faceted plot.

If you enjoy spy novels and suspense thrillers, you’ll enjoy Murder On Safari – especially knowing that the sequel to this novel, The Berlin Package, is now available for your reading pleasure as well!

Be sure to visit Create With Joy on May 18, 2016 for our review of The Berlin Package – and don’t miss the opportunity to win some fabulous prizes at the end of this post!

I rate Murder On Safari 4 out of 5 stars.
