Nicole Oruwari has the perfect life: a handsome husband, a palatial house in the heart of Lagos and a glamorous group of friends. She left London and a troubled family past behind to become part of a community of expat wives.
But when Nicole disappears without a trace after a boat trip, the cracks in her so-called perfect life start to show. As the investigation turns up nothing but dead ends, her aunt Claudine flies to Nigeria to take matters into her own hands. As she digs into her niece's life, she uncovers a hidden truth. But the more she finds out about Nicole, the more Claudine's own buried history threatens to come to light.
We found The Lagos Wife impossible to put down – think The Real Housewives of Lagos with a murder mystery!
Grab your copy of The Lagos Wife (Amazon | Bookshop.org) and then join us and other Black Ballad members on Thursday 23rd January for a discussion that promises to be as lively as ever!
