I really enjoyed this book, the conversational writing style and the complex plot-line all contribute to a well rounded story which presents the highs and lows of Lagos life in a surreal and inciting way. Though the characterisation was thin, Amaka our protagonist was another high point of the story, as her grit and determination sees her moving through the murky underbelly of Lagos with ease. Guy also forms a fantastic narrative vessel, as his unfamiliarity with his surroundings helps us to become reacquainted with the familiar backroads of Adeleye’s Lagos from the outset.
Amaka our heroine is a very big positive, we as readers feeling more immersed in her story as the plot thickens, which further invests us in what happens to her over time. The people we meet along the journey of this story are the high points of the novel, even if their characterisation feels at time thin. Amaka is a brilliant protagonist, effortlessly navigating the murky underbelly of Lagos and Guy forms a fantastic narrative vessel.

Honest presentation of Lagos society which strips away the high walls and gated communities for a fresh look at life in Nigeria’s capital of decadence, how the upper class misuse the power they have been given.
Easy motion tourist is book I thoroughly enjoyed , this book satisfied my love for thriller novels and even though its been a year since I read the first book I will be reading the second one soon.
