Meryl Streep anyone?

Mark of the Lion - Suzanne Arruda

A Plucky, anti-establishment, feminist heroine? Check.
Amusing descriptions of the British elite in Africa in 1919? Check.
A handsome, strong-willed bachelor with a pet cheetah? Check.
A mystery involving birthright? Check.

First in a series with this heroine - I did enjoy it, but found the heroine a little too plucky for my taste. I might read the next in the series, but it's not something I feel compelled to do immediately after finishing. Still, it is a quick enjoyable read.
