Book Review: Life and death in the Serengeti

By Robert McCool
Icon Columnist

I have read and reviewed more of Chris Bohjalian's books than any other author. Midwives, The Flight Attendant, The Plot, The Night Strangers, The Guest Room, and Hour of the Witch, just to name a few. Why? Because he's an excellent writer.

And he doesn't disappoint with his latest work, The Lioness (Doubleday, ISBN: 978-03855-4482-5).

This time his recipe is to put a group of Hollywood friends and relatives in Kenya, Africa on a photo safari during a time of upheaval in the neighboring countries. The time is 1964.
