Why a Booktrail?
2000s: This is the same book as The Lagos Wife
The Nigerwife
What you need to know before your trail
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.

Lagos
This is almost the story of the Housewives of Lagos with their lovely homes, diamonds and all the money you could wish for. However, despite the characters living in a posh suburb of Lagos something soon goes wrong:
“Nicole often wondered what happened to the body. A few months after she arrived in Lagos, a body appeared in the lagoon close to the compound, bobbing along on a blanket of trash, a bloated starfish face down in the river.”
