Lightseekers (Click Here To Buy)
★★★☆☆
Lightseekers by Femi Kayode is a mystery book about an investigative psychologist in Nigeria trying to solve a murder. I read this as an audiobook on loan from the library. In the small town of Okriki, three boys from the local university were murdered by a mob. Dr. Taiwo is an investigative psychologist who recently moved back to Lagos, Nigeria after completing his clinical psychology PhD in the States where he focused on lynch mobs in the South. Taiwo is asked by a father of one of the boys murdered to investigate why this happened. What Taiwo discovers, with the help of his driver Chika, is an entangled web of corruption and premeditation. A classic murder mystery set in the backdrop of modern Nigeria with complex and developed characters, numerous plot twists. If you liked Lightseekers, I also recommend The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith, The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi, The Guest List by Lucy Folley, and Into the Water by Paula Hawkins. #happyreading Ms.Bjork
