I love reading genres that are usually ignored in Africa. When I came across this book I was pleasantly surprised because its a detective series set in Ghana and I can count on one hand similar books, saying that the disappointment hits harder with these because I expect so much.

This story is subpar, it follows Darko, a detective with no talent whatsoever, he was fed clues the entire story and I never felt like he was using his own detective prowess there was a hint of some power of recognizing lies but its lack of exploration left a lot to be desired.
The writing is not impressive either, no variation of sentences and the paragraphs has the same number of lines (yes I counted) which made the flow of the story stilted. The multiple points of view was more of a detriment to this story than helpful, neither did they push the plot forward nor help in the fleshing out of the world. As for the plot average as well, the death being investigated is a strangulation which is as average as it gets, maybe I like some gruesomeness so I can be invested in the chase to catch the killer and also the reason for the murder just plain boooring.
