The Temptress: The Scandalous Life of Alice,… door Paul Spicer
This was okay. Since Alice, the subject, didn't leave any letters or journals, however, it's hard to get a sense of how she really viewed things. The author is left to recycle other people's descriptions of places Alice went and make comments like, "Alice would have seen X and she would have been really impressed by it." It has some interesting comments about the Errol Hay murder. "The Bolter" by Osborne was better and covered the same period.
Quick, salacious read about the irresponsible goings-on of the British elite in colonial Kenya. Interesting not so much for the particular who-dunnit of Lord Erroll's murder but for an overall tone and feeling.
