The Wife of Gods was a good mystery. I think this is a great book to start with if you are new to the genre. This book made me want to update my video "Mystery for Beginners." The MC, the detective was a determined detective from Accra. He followed every lead and every trace. Although he had some anger towards particularly abusive people; for the most part, he had his life together. The MC was forced to revisit ghosts and places that reminded him of his past. This writing of this book reminded of me historical mysteries that were written in the early 1900s. I honestly truly enjoyed that feel the most. I think that made me like the book the most. The book sets you up to think that the obvious suspects are guilty only for me to think differently towards the end of the book.
