I loved this book! It’s perhaps not the most original crime story, but wow, the combination of getting to know Nigerian  society through the eyes of returning Nigerian forensic psychologist Dr Philip Taiwo while figuring out the mystery is great. Learning more about both the criminal and justices systems as well as the academic society in rural Nigeria was fascinating, all the while confirming some and firmly debunking some preconceptions. 

I listened to this as audio and the narrations was absolute perfection. Highly recommended
