However, somehow I did 🙈🙈🙈
I managed to finish listening in the middle of the day as the night time was proving too much for my brain 🤣🙈
Thriller/mystery/ horror are not my genres. I think this book is Def a 4⭐⭐⭐⭐ for keeping a non thriller gal engaged and wanting more. Those used to this genre comment below and let me know your thoughts
1. I've already mentioned the talented narration please see previous posts
2. I love that we are beginning to see black British women in different genres and narratives. Our main character hero is a detective, cultural background from Nigeria
3. I love the concept of being used at times by our non black colleagues as cultural expert within the work place feel free to push that back on them boo
4. I love that in the darkest moments of this book all hero could do was to whisper a prayer under her breath... Best believe I was doing the same as Mr villain man was wayyyyy too convincing
I'm a scardey cat... but I couldn't put this down!

It is rather scary material so not for the lighthearted. Despite the source material, it manages to portray a quite contemporary picture of Nigeria. As an added bonus,
the book is performed brilliantly by the talented Weruche Opia (you might have seen her in I may destroy you) who nails every single accent and voice.
I look forward to reading more from this fresh new voice.
Excellent Debut from Oni
