Death by his grace por Kwei Quartey
Last of the series. I’ve enjoyed it for the glimpses of culture and the plots were adequate .Characterization was primarily centered on the detective himself, Darko Dawson, and on his family life.
Enjoyable. Ghanaian food & culture with a standard mystery with appropriate twists & turns
Quartey uses a new storytelling method with each book in the series, and so it is so far from a formulaic mystery as it can get. He also tells stories unique to Ghana. A really nasty guy who trafficked Nigerians becomes a pimp of high class women to the rich, and is killed. His innocent girlfriend goes missing. This is a missing person story but also a murder mystery and a horrific story of human trafficking and prostitution. The author keeps the story this side of tolerable—he doesn‘t go into gruesome details—even though you know they‘re there. He‘s an extraordinary storyteller and writer. The level of detail, for example, the meals they eat, what the weather (& the traffic) feels like, reading his books is an immersive experience. His 4th book in this series is out in August. And I‘ll have to start his Detective Darko series soon. Highly recommended.… (mais)
A beautiful, kind, successful fashion designer in Ghana. Why would so many people want to kill her? Including members of her own family? Private investigator Emma Djan unravels a host of mysteries along with her coworkers, and a few honest policeman, to find and catch the murderer. So many suspects with viable motives, I was kept guessing quite a long time. Such an excellent writer.
