Easy Motion Tourist

By: Leye Adenle

Narrated by: Tony Tambi

Guy Collins, a British hack, is hunting for an election story in Lagos. A decision to check out a local bar in Victoria Island ends up badly - a mutilated female body is discarded close by and Collins is picked up as a suspect. In the murk of a hot, groaning, and bloody police station cell, Collins fears the worst. But then Amaka, a sassy guardian angel of Lagos working girls, talks the police station chief around. She assumes Collins is a BBC journo who can broadcast the city's witchcraft and body-parts trade that she's on a one-woman mission to stop. With Easy Motion Tourist's astonishing cast, Tarantino has landed in Lagos. This addictive debut crime novel pulses with the rhythm of Nigeria's mega-city, reeks of its open drains, and sparkles like the champagne quaffed in its upmarket districts.

Wonderful writing!

Great story, but the performance could’ve been better. I look forward to listening to the others in this series.

Fun and engaging

The performance is just really bad, I'm sorry. The voice is off putting and monotone and the characters are not given much life or a way to differentiate between them. The reading is clear and that's about it. The story however, is interesting. It's not as much of a mystery or thriller as I initially thought, but it is engaging enough that I wanted to get to the end (despite the narration).
