The Safari

by Jaclyn Goldis

On this safari, the real danger isn’t from the animals!

Odelia Babel, the CEO of a sustainable fashion empire, is getting married to a much younger man. To celebrate this occasion she wants her family and her best friend to go to Leopard Sands for the wedding. Odelia owns Leopard Sands, a luxury safari retreat, and everyone who works there is employed by Odelia. Over the years the family has had a wonderful time at Leopard Sands but this safari is very different.

Tensions are running high over the wedding and her four children aren’t exactly thrilled about it. When Odelia is found dead on the wedding day, everyone is a suspect and when another member of the group disappears, everyone is frantic to find her. Soon secrets are revealed and the twists and turns keep coming. I loved the safari setting and learning about some of the animals. In this tense family drama, everyone seems to have something to hide and the ending really took me by surprise. The Safari will be published on May 20, 2025.
