The Lagos Wife by Vanessa Walters
5.0
The Lagos Wife is marketed as a thriller but I don't necessarily think that's the best way to describe this book.
What you get here is a character driven, slower paced narrative, which does have many twists and turns along the way that keep you hooked. But to me this read more like a literary fiction with a mystery plot. Which I absolutely loved.
Within this book you get two main narratives, Nicole, who has been living in Nigeria with her husband and has now disappeared.
And Claudine, her Aunt who has arrived in Nigeria from the UK, to try and piece together what happened to her neice.
Both voices are equally strong and fleshed out, keeping me interested throughout the entire novel.
I would definitely recommend it.
