Can’t Wait Wednesday was once Waiting on Wednesday, but the purpose is the same: for bloggers to highlight what they’re waiting on. This week that is Sleep Well My Lady
In the follow-up to the acclaimed series debut The Missing American, PI Emma Djan investigates the death of a Ghanaian fashion icon and social media celebrity, Lady Araba.
Hard-hitting talk show host Augustus Seeza has become a household name in Ghana, though plagued by rumors of lavish overspending, alcoholism, and womanizing. He’s dating the imposing, beautiful Lady Araba, who leads a self-made fashion empire. Araba’s religious family believes Augustus is after her money and intervenes to break them up. A few days later, just before a major runway show, Araba is found murdered in her bed. Her driver is arrested after a hasty investigation, but Araba’s favorite aunt, Dele, has always thought Augustus Seeza was the real killer.
Almost a year later, Dele approaches Emma Djan, who has finally started to settle in as the only female PI at her agency. To solve Lady Araba’s murder, Emma must not only go on an undercover mission that dredges up trauma from her past, but navigate a long list of suspects with solid alibis. Emma quickly discovers that they are willing to lie for each other—and that one may still be willing to kill.
A female PI in Ghana? Yes thank you very much! I need to find the first in this series too!
Yes! I’m seeing this author get great reviews, and I need to find the first book, as well.
I am going to start it soon!! I’m so excited!!
Sounds quite compelling. The victim’s fame would probably yield some juicy secrets as they investigate
I hope so! That kind of juicy goodness always make a book better 🙂
Culture and celebrities and murder – sounds like a winning combination!
I think so too!
Oooh I’ll have to check out the first book too!
It sounds good doesn’t it?!
I had your same reaction when I read the blurb! The premise is truly interesting, I hope you get the chance to read it (and enjoy it) soon! 😀
TY!!
I love the sound of this series – thank you so much for sharing, Verushka:)).
I think it’s going to be such a gem!
I love the premise of this story and already want to why someone would want to kill a social media influencer. I’m guessing the female PI is going to be a pretty badass protagonist too as the only female at her agency.
I am a 1000% in agreement about the Pi being badass, and I ow ready for her!
Yes! I saw this and instantly knew I needed to add this one to my wish list. I read one of his books in another series years ago and really liked it. This sounds even better. But like you, I need to go find that first book and read it. I hope we both love Sleep Well, My Lady when we read it.
Doh! ! Why do I never think to look for other books by authors when I find really good books!!
This sounds great!!!!!!
I hope soooo!!
