LOVE AND DEATH AMONG THE CHEETAHS

Book ID/图书代码： 06830019C00035

English Summary/英文概要： I was so excited when Darcy announced out of the blue that we were flying to Kenya for our extended honeymoon. Now that we are here, I suspect he has actually been sent to fulfill another secret mission. I am trying very hard not to pick a fight about it, because after all, we are in paradise! Darcy finally confides that there have been robberies in London and Paris. It seems the thief was a member of the aristocracy and may have fled to Kenya. Since we are staying in the Happy Valley—the center of upper-class English life—we are well positioned to hunt for clues and ferret out possible suspects.

Now that I am a sophisticated married woman, I am doing my best to sound like one. But crikey! These aristocrats are a thoroughly loathsome sort enjoying a completely decadent lifestyle filled with wild parties and rampant infidelity. And one of the leading lights in the community, Lord Cheriton, has the nerve to make a play for me. While I am on my honeymoon! Of course, I put an end to that right off.

When he is found bloodied and lifeless along a lonely stretch of road, it appears he fell victim to a lion. But it seems that the Happy Valley community wants to close the case a bit too quickly. Darcy and I soon discover that there is much more than a simple robbery and an animal attack to contend with here in Kenya. Nearly everyone has a motive to want Lord Cheriton dead and some will go to great lengths to silence anyone who asks too many questions. The hunt is on! I just hope I can survive my honeymoon long enough to catch a killer. . . .

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当达西突然宣布我们要飞往肯尼亚度蜜月时，我非常激动。现在我们在这里，我怀疑他实际上是被派来完成另一个秘密任务的。我非常努力地不去争吵，因为毕竟我们是在天堂!达西最后透露，伦敦和巴黎都发生过抢劫案。看来这名小偷是一名贵族，可能已经逃到了肯尼亚。既然我们住在快乐山谷——英国上层社会生活的中心，我们就有条件去寻找线索，找出可能的嫌疑犯。

现在我是一个成熟的已婚女性，我尽我最大的努力让自己听起来像一个成熟的人。但是哎呀! !这些贵族是一个彻底令人讨厌的人，享受着一种完全颓废的生活方式，充斥着疯狂的派对和猖獗的不忠。而社区的主要人物之一，切里顿勋爵，有勇气为我表演。当我在度蜜月的时候!当然，我马上就结束了。

当人们在一条偏僻的道路上发现他时，他浑身是血，毫无生气，似乎他是一头狮子的牺牲品。但欢乐谷社区似乎想要快点了结这个案子。达西和我很快发现，在肯尼亚，要对付的不仅仅是简单的抢劫和动物袭击。几乎每个人都有想要切里顿勋爵死的动机，有些人会想尽办法让任何问太多问题的人闭嘴。狩猎开始了!我只希望我能在蜜月中活到足够长的时间去抓一个杀手。（WYL）
