Maggie Minds Her Business: From serpent cults to secret files, Maggie's on the trail of murder in the steamy African nation of Wahwa (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Maggie's a dutiful diplomat in a collapsing African country, fending off hot flashes and longing for a joint. An evening of glad-handing at the July Fourth reception ends with a corpse in the garden. Assigned to tie up the administrative details, Maggie learns the dead woman's work gave her access to many of the embassy community's embarrassing secrets. As she penetrates the murdered nurse's coded medical records, Maggie still has her day job to do; rescuing an anthropologist held hostage by a serpent cult--Maggie hates snakes--saving kidnapped schoolgirls, and taking a spoiled congressional wife shopping as rebel rockets fall. A surprise encounter with her old lover, underground since a fling with terrorism in the '70s, brings her closer to the truth behind the killing. It also introduces her to the benefits of KY Jelly after menopause. Insurgents close in, trapping Maggie with the killer and forcing each to choose between desire and duty.
