The Missing Corpse by Yasin Kakande

Thank you @hyggebooktours @yasikak For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Missing corpse is book 2 in the series and is a crime thriller. The story is set in Africa and is about Shawn, who is an agent that is on a mission with two other people to retrieve the president body. The Missing Corpse is an intriguing and interesting read. The plot was good and kept me entertained until the end. The story is very well written, and I found out bits about Africa I didn’t know, which were fascinating. If you like crime thrillers, this is definitely for you; it will keep you on the edge of your seats. The Missing Corpse is a completely unique crime thriller from what I have read before, and I did enjoy it. . 4 stars. Blurb: “A work of fiction told with the force of truth.” The Niche The president is dead. His son is pretending he’s not. And the corpse? Well, that’s missing. When the CIA sniffs out whispers that an African general—who also happens to be the president’s darling son—may have murdered dear old dad and stashed the body like last week’s leftovers, they send in their best bloodhound: Agent Shawn Wayles. He’s good at two things—digging up dirt and getting shot at in places the U.S. swears it’s not involved. This time, Shawn’s not alone. He’s paired with an LGBTQ couple who have more secrets than the Vatican and fewer moral brakes. Their mission? Retrieve the dead president’s body from the general’s paranoid, trigger-happy security team. Because in this twisted power struggle, it’s not the living who rule—it’s the guy in the coffin. And whoever has the corpse... controls the country.
