It can be difficult to find a fresh take in the mystery genre, but Dave Butler has done so with his Jenny Willson series. Jenny is a Canadian park warden with law enforcement responsibilities, and typically patrols in the Canadian Rockies In this, the third book in the series, Jenny is Namibia to assist with the fight against rhino poachers. Namibia is an important part of the story, and Butler does a good job of explaining the social and political climate as well as describing the scenery.
Jenny can be direct and bossy, slow to trust and quick to take offense, but she’s aware of her personal shortcomings and is a likeable character. She is quickly involved in the dangerous chase of rhino poachers. Over the course of the story, Jenny contemplates a new job opportunity and the potential of romance. Suffice it to say, that while she wraps up the mystery of the stolen rhino horns, there is plenty of questions in her professional and personal life to ensure the survival of this series.
I enjoyed the book and recommend it for all those who like strong female protagonists.
I received a digital ARC via NetGalley.
