Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

This novel about an alcoholic diplomts antics in Madagascar was an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Gambling debts, drinking problem, strained father/daughter relationship, and an American stuck in prison are some of the problems that face Robert, an American diplomat in Madagascar. Seeing the end of his career, Robert begins to leave a trail of bad decisions around the embassy and nearby villages. Madagascar is a quick, enjoyable read.

I was blown away at how bad the writing was. I didn't make it past the first few pages.
