Like a proper B-class movie the book seemed to me so cheesy that I couldn't put it away just to see what's going to be ruined in the next chapter. What it did to me is to make me hungry again for that Nigerian food. And the interviews with palm wine tappers merit their own equally wacky book.

Fan van Tade Thompson sinds de Rosewater-trilogie, en Making Wolf stelt opnieuw niet teleur. Een handig uitgewerkte en fijn geschreven detective-thriller, zich afspelend in fictief West-Afrikaans land Alcacia. Post-koloniale problematiek, zwarte humor, sterke personages. Hier en daar wat wijdlopig, maar uitstekend mee vermaakt.

I should've figured this out after putting it off for so long, but this is not for me. It's a bit too bleak for my tastes.
