pickI got lucky in our library coming along this book. I didn't know that there's a new book out by Tade Thompson (still waiting for his next Rosewater novel to be translated). Of course I got it without any hesitation. And I was not disappointed.
The story is set in a fictional city/country. But there's no doubt that what Thompson is writing about is more than real. This is all happening right now, on many places around the globe. ⬇
so-soTade Thompson‘s hard-boiled noir makes excellent use of its fictional West African setting to send its main character on a nightmarish investigation beset by violence and corruption. However, the mystery plot doesn‘t quite hang together, I needed more of Weston‘s London life to flesh out how Alcacia is changing him and the female characters are noticeably under-developed for femme fatales. Saying that though, I would definitely read a sequel.
Can't wait to get into award shortlister making wolf. Hoping Tade makes the forbidden planet london event on Thursday too.

Doesn't matter if it's Sci-Fi or a thriller Tade Thompson writes - he simply knows how to make his stories work.
