I'm not a huge detective mystery reader but I picked this one up because it was a group read for Blackathon 2021! I flew through this book, but I don't think the pacing was necessarily very fast until it got right up to the end. The book is set in Ghana, and I enjoyed the setting descriptions and the way it fit into the story. There are some aspects of the mystery and story that I feel like I just didn't "get," but I'm not sure that's through the fault of the book. I liked the main character and I'd consider reading another in his series, but I'm not racing to do so.
