Gaslight: Het Tweede Philip Taiwo-onderzoek

Gaslight is the sensational new instalment in Femi Kayode's acclaimed crime series, featuring clinical psychologist Philip Taiwo who is urgently called in to investigate the disappearance of Folasade Dawodu, the First Lady of a Nigerian megachurch. Set against a backdrop of faith, power and community in Lagos, the case tests Taiwo’s empathy and method as he untangles truth from belief while his own family faces fracture. The novel has been acclaimed by reviewers, with praise for atmosphere and plotting, and echoes Kayode’s deft storytelling that has drawn comparisons to top crime writers. Gaslight follows Kayode’s debut Lightseekers and continues the thread of a tightly wound, character-driven thriller that immerses readers in a world where every choice has consequences and no one is quite what they seem.

Femi Kayode is recognized as a distinctive voice in contemporary crime fiction, and Gaslight builds on his earlier success, reinforcing the emotional pull and suspense that have marked the series. The book’s publication is noted among major critics and readers alike for its vivid setting and compulsive pace.
