Wild Things Never Die by Sally Andrew – a new Tannie Maria mystery from the much-loved South African series that mixes murder, love and spectacular Karoo cooking.

About the book

Tannie Maria is wrestling with a fear of the dark, and Henrietta the hen has PTSD. But this doesn't stop the intrepid agony aunt from going undercover with her fiancé, Detective Henk Kannemeyer, at the Karoo Wilderness Reserve. Their mission: save the vetplantjies! At the luxury game lodge they spy on guests and support the anti-poaching unit against dangerous gangsters. Then there's a murder – and a colourful cast of suspects, from a barefoot artist to a botanist cowboy.
