From Amazon.
Introducing Detective Inspector Darko Dawson: dedicated family man, rebel in the office, ace in the field--and one of the most appealing sleuths to come along in years. When we first meet Dawson, he's been ordered by his cantankerous boss to leave behind his loving wife and young son in Ghana's capital city to lead a murder investigation: In a shady grove outside the small town of Ketanu, a young woman--a promising medical student--has been found dead under suspicious circumstances. Dawson is fluent in Ketanu's indigenous language, so he's the right man for the job, but the local police are less than thrilled with an outsider's interference. For Dawson, this sleepy corner of Ghana is rife with emotional land mines: an estranged relationship with the family he left behind twenty-five years earlier and the painful memory of his own mother's inexplicable disappearance. Armed with remarkable insight and a healthy dose of skepticism, Dawson soon finds his cosmopolitan sensibilities clashing with age-old customs, including a disturbing practice in which teenage girls are offered to fetish priests as trokosi, or Wives of the Gods. Delving deeper into the student's haunting death, Dawson will uncover long-buried secrets that, to his surprise, hit much too close to home.

So this arrived yesterday and I basically read and read until I had finished it! I really enjoyed this book. Lot of interesting themes alongside a great plot with a fascinating range of characters. Thank you so much for granting my wish MLA!
I am pretty sure this will be on some other wishlists, so hope to get it travelling again soon.

And off it goes to Tanamo as part of the wishlist tag game. Happy reading!

The book has arrived safely. Thanks a lot frogster. Having read the blurb and the comments of others I'm really looking forward to reading this. In fact if I didn't have a small reading queue of books I've promised to others, I'd be tempted to start it straight away regardless of mount toobie.

Read and really enjoyed this book set in Ghana, a country I know little about. The book was well plotted and I could easily picture the characters and the ending was good.

Taking to today's mini meet at Mrs Bridges tea rooms.

Picked up at Mrs Bridge's. Thanks Tanamo. I read to Chapter 3 on the bus, so I guess that this is my next read.

Fascinating back story. To my shame, I know nothing of Ghana but hopefully have a better 'feel' now.

Going into Plum-crazy's World of Crime Book Box.

I picked this out of the ;world of crime’ bookbox. Looking forward to reading it.

I enjoy reading books that are set in countries that I am unfamiliar with, but I couldn’t get into this book. I had been enjoying the cultural background in it too much so that when the murder happened it felt like too much of a distraction!
