I'm actually kind of sad to see I'm the first one reviewing this book. It should have more readers.
If you've read the author's first two books in this series, this one will be both extremely familiar, as well as an interesting departture from the previous two.
Like the first two books (both starring Tunde), this one shifts the focus to Tunde's long-suffering wife, Ellie yet still offers up life lessons through the path of the story.
Unlike the first two, this one seems to have amped up the story aspect. There's even a clear cut villain.
The writing style is clear and simple. There may be a bit more "tell" than "show" than I'm used to, but overall, I couldn't help but get caught up in the adventures of Ellie. It's a perfect story that acts both as prequel and side-story to the first two in the series. And it's a fitting end to the trilogy.
