First published 1958

4.1(306)

Victoria arrives from England at Flamingo, the Rift Valley farm dominated by the formidable Lady Emily DeBrett. A killing with a panga can initially be explained as one of the final atrocities of the Mau Mau Emergency, but evidence points instead toward the closely connected settler families around the estate.

Poltergeist-like disturbances, feuds and further deaths reveal motives rooted in inheritance, marriage and long-held resentment. Victoria must determine which fears belong to Kenya's recent violence and which have been cultivated by a murderer inside the household. The book first appeared as Later Than You Think.
