Mark of the Lion by Suzanne Arruda was my book club's latest pick. It was a mystery, and that genre is usually not my favorite, but I did enjoy this one. This starts out in France during World War I. Jade was an American serving as an ambulance driver. David is a pilot from England and has just proposed to her, but she has declined him. As he flies over her to flight the Germans his plane crashes, and she rushes to his side as he is dying. He has a last request of her. He has just found out about a brother he never knew he had in Africa, and he feels his father's death there was not an accident. He asks her to find his brother and resolve what happened to his father. Haunted by David's request and her memories of war, Jade heads to Africa under the guise of being a reporter for a magazine. She makes new friends, gets reunited with old, and encounters many dangerous animals including the human kind in her quest to honor David's last request. A good mystery read with lots of information about Africa. There are six in this Jade Del Cameron series thus far, and I would like to read the rest.
