I'm marking this one as did not finish, as the first 30% of this book I can only describe as tedious. The pacing is so very slow. Obviously there's some mystery and "guilt" surrounding a death in the past, but there weren't enough breadcrumbs thrown out to hold my interest. Where did Adri work in West Africa? There are so many diverse countries there. Also the nickname Adri used over and over was not my favorite. I do appreciate the opportunity to review this book, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

This book started out with a lot of promise but halfway thru the story started dragging & it took quite awhile to finally finish reading it.

I enjoy Baart's writing more and more. I first was introduced to Baart from a friend, suggesting I read Sleeping in Eden. After loving that novel, and seeing this over, I jumped at the chance to read it. I like her characters and how her writing flows. I would read more and more of her work.
