The story is very interesting and in the section that I read seems very intricate. I do feel that the plot gets lost on occasion as the author attempts to tie together the needed Ghanaian history, the corruption, and main characters.

There is definitely a story here and for a while I enjoyed the ease of the author’s writing, but I would have preferred more linear storytelling on this subject.

In this book John Ablakah had a scam that affected everyone from the president of Ghana to Ghana‘s ambassador Shirley Temple black and everyone in between I do believe we have found the person we can blame for the Nigerian prince who cannot get his trust fun scam and it is this man. He took a rumor and expound on borrowed against it had others invest in it and became rich because of it this is a very interesting book and I do believe the author Yapoka Yebo did a phenomenal job writing a nonfiction book that is not only interesting but astounding. I was amazed at how many names I knew in this book about a story I had never heard of before. Please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review I want to thank net galley and the bloomsbury USA for my free arc copy.

this book didn't have a great flow to it and it was confusing to identify all of the people. I think it would be helpful to have a list of people at the beginning of the book. I think the story is interesting, but was a little too dry
