Mystery

I found this book deliciously dark and sad.

It was … fine. I didn’t love it. I didn’t hate it.

I have always loved this series and this is a nice addition to it. They’re mysteries, yes, but rich in detail and human interactions and not something you can or should rush through.

Nicely plotted, suspenseful tale covering human trafficking and a secret society devoted to a united Africa, by almost any means.

For a mystery series to hold my attention it needs to have nice, twisted plots of course. Mysteries are the ultimate in plot-driven. But that’s not enough to carry a series for me. It needs to have at least a great cast of characters, interesting relationships between them, or an interesting setting. Ideally all of the above, and this series had that, for me.

It wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad. I’d call it average. Decent plot, decent characters.
