Caracteristici
Femi Kayode is one to watch: his sensational debut. Lightseekers was longlisted for the prestigious CWA Gold Dagger and was a Book of the Month for the Times, Sunday Times, Independent, Guardian, Observer, Financial Times and Irish Times - expect widespread review coverage for the second instalment in this major new series
Recenzii
Wonderful. Full of narrative charm (appropriately leavened by a little cynicism), full of characters that, while specific to the theme and setting, were also universally recognizable and translatable
Outstanding . This is Kayode's second novel in the Taiwo series and it brings a refreshing new perspective to contemporary crime fiction
Gaslight deserves all the stars. It's an outstanding, clever and emotional thriller. The best thrillers take you on a journey. Definitely a recommended read
Gaslight is a dizzying poetic crime novel. Femi Kayode is an unparalleled wordsmith
Deftly plotted, with strong characterisation and a great sense of place, Gaslight more than lives up to the promise of its excellent predecessor
Gaslight 's particular appeal is the sharp glimpses it provides of local ways of getting things done
Gaslight nicely showcases both [Kayode's] understanding of human complexity and his maturing skills as a novelist
Philip Taiwo is such an engaging protagonist - so good to see a detective character who is committed to his family and properly functional! The relationship with Lara and Folake's solution was also particularly satisfying. Femi has nailed the difficult second novel and set in concrete the foundations for what I hope will be a very long series featuring Philip and Chika. Powerful and shocking, it's a riveting read
I loved it. The atmosphere and characters were authentic to the point I felt I could recognise them, and I was captivated to find out who was responsible and why
In the depths of faith, dark secrets lie buried. Welcome to the heart-pounding world of Femi Kayode's Gaslight, where shadows dance to the rhythm of danger
The charismatic pastor of a wealthy Nigerian mega-church is accused of killing his missing wife. But is the case as cut and dried as so many want it to be? Investigative psychologist Dr Philip Taiwo is back and what a triumph Gaslight is! Femi Kayode delivers a brilliant, uncompromising story rich with humanity and intrigue. His characters burst from the page and the atmosphere he creates whisks you across the world in the blink of an eye. A wild, exhilarating ride from cover to cover
I'm crossing my fingers that one of my loved ones has picked up on the fact that I've yet to read the second Femi Kayode novel, Gaslight. I loved his first, Lightseekers . and I can't wait to curl up with Philip's latest investigation
[A] vivid and immersive novel. Kayode blends the murder case with a subplot around Taiwo's personal life expertly, layering meaning and resonances into both stories to create a very satisfying whole. Fine stuff
Kayode's vivid sequel.Kayode joins the two investigations in surprising and satisfying ways, maintaining steady momentum and populating the story with well-drawn characters. His evocative portrait of contemporary Nigeria is icing on the cake. This series continues to captivate
The pace of Gaslight is electric. It is a constant powerful current with jolting bursts of excitement and horror. Femi Kayode is a remarkable writer; his style is addictive, even after one 'shot'
A superb novel - so inventive and so well done. It's just brilliant
This thrilling murder mystery set in Nigeria bursts with impressive energy . Powerful, provocative and absolutely captivating, Gaslight deserves to fly. Highly recommended
Beautifully written, thought-provoking and contemporary, Gaslight is a wholly engrossing book that draws you in, makes you think and raises your temperature as you want the perpetrators caught just as much as the book's protagonist
The standout thriller of the month ... A stunning murder mystery ... The suspense isexpertly handled
What a sensational debut ... Dr Philip Taiwo is a protagonist I want to meet again, and the setting is so well-drawn. Intelligent, suspenseful and utterly engrossing
Femi Kayode is an atmospheric writer
