Amaka returns in this gripping sequel to Easy Motion Tourist, and finds herself in more trouble than ever. When a plane crash kills the state gubernatorial candidate, Chief Ojo is picked to replace him. The same Chief Ojo who beat up a girl in The Harem, a secret sex club, and left her for dead. The same Chief Ojo who Amaka caught with pictures and videos of underage sex acts on his phone. Amaka is the only person standing between him and election victory, and Ojo sends hired guns Malik and Shehu after her. Chief Balogun, his powerful father in-law also hires a gang of thugs for the job. Amaka must outwit them all to survive.

I loved the first book in the series and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this sequel. It’s an enthralling read. Grips you and difficult to drop. If you’re familiar with Lagos, you’d enjoy this. Especially if you’re living away from home and dealing with nostalgia.

If you love thrillers, read this one

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2018

With this novel, Leye Adenle confirms his status as a thriller writer of the first rank. The book is a high octane journey through a Lagos that feels both familiar and yet disorientating, a tale written with great panache which explores, unflinchingly, the nexus between power, money, sex and politics. Take the time to get to know his work. Leye Adenle is a writer who is going places, and now is the time to discover him.

Very good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2019

Finally finished 'when trouble sleeps', and I really enjoyed it. The book was well researched, suspense filled and action packed. I think it will make a great movie. I did feel it was a bit too descriptive in some areas and I found a few typos. I also felt that there were too many things going on simultaneously, and the book felt unfinished.
Not as unputdownable as 'Easy motion tourist', but a very good read.

Miki JesuLoba

Thrilling!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Gripping, fast paced thriller. One is teleported all over Lagos, as seen through the eyes of an array of interesting characters. Amaka- the protagonist - navigates multiple worlds (from the more seedy side of underworld, to the halls of the rich and powerful) with style, grace and quick-wit.
