Description
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo meets Gone Girl in this enthralling murder mystery.
In the shadows of Sangui City, a street-thief called Tina patiently plots her revenge. Her mother has been shot dead at the home of one of Kenya’s richest businessmen, and Tina is sure she knows who’s to blame.
When a local gang asks her to steal from his home, it’s the chance Tina has been waiting for. But as she steps inside, old wounds resurface and she is caught red-handed by his son, Michael. The pair set in motion a cascade of dangerous events that could, at any moment, cost Tina her life. The desire to uncover the incredible truth about who killed her mother — and why — keeps her holding on in this fast-paced, nail-biting thriller.

inesreadsbooksLast night I finished City of Saints and Thieves by Natalie C. Anderson. I got a copy via Netgalley. First of all, I finished this in 24 hours, such a fast read. I really liked it. I loved the setting and really liked Tina. I was hooked from the beginning. This book contains a vivid world, good characters and a intriguing story. There is a little bit of romance in there, wich was unnecessary in my opinion. The ending was a little bit neat, but overall I really liked it and gave it 4/5⭐️
