When the most trusted elder on Lagos Island is found dead beside a cup of herbal tea - the packaging bears one name: Àṣàbí's Remedies.
Àṣàbí Adeyemi has practiced Ifa divination and traditional herbalism in the same family shop on Lagos Island her whole life. She reads the Odu with uncanny accuracy. She compounds medicines her mother taught her. She has never once mixed up her preparations.But when Detective Adébáyọ̀ appears at her door and the community falls silent as she passes, she faces a choice that cannot be delayed: wait for the Lagos State police to clear her name or find the truth herself.What she finds is darker than a poisoning. Chief Fásọlá was not the man his community believed. The money that should have protected the market women of Isale Eko was quietly disappearing. Five people had reason to want him dead. And the person who framed Àṣàbí knew exactly which herb to use, where to find it, and how to reseal a package so that only the person who made it would know it had been opened.In a city where the lagoon holds the oldest secrets and the market hears everything before the police do, Àṣàbí will need every gift she possesses and the counsel of one sardonic African Grey parrot named Ògún, who has never once been wrong about the light.
A Hex on Lagos Island is the first book in the Lagos Charm Mysteries - a warm, razor-sharp paranormal cozy series set in present-day Lagos Island, Nigeria. Perfect for fans of Juliet Blackwell, Diane Mott Davidson, and anyone ready to fall in love with a mystery world unlike anywhere they have read before.
