This book had so much going on with it being a murder mystery and also a psychological one for how people can be manipulated into doing anything including murder. There are so many different themes explored throughout the book and the setting of a small Nigerian town made it even more interesting. I found it quite slow to get into and there were so many twists and turns it was difficult at fully understand it especially with many different characters. I really enjoyed Philips perspective and his moral compass. Chika was a great character too and I hope there's more books of the pair so we can explore more of the back story.
