10 Thrilling African Noir Novels

 T.L. Huchu chooses his favourite African noir novels in Publishers Weekly.

He has this to say about Bryony Rheam's All Come to Dust:

'Murdered white people are problematic for detectives across the continent—they’re harder for law enforcement to ignore. In this stunning crime debut, Chief Inspector Edmund Dube must investigate the murder of Marcia Pullman, which dredges up a mystery from his own childhood. Interwoven into the narrative is the story of a nation that has lost its way. Agatha Christie readers will love this book, and that’s not just because Rheam won the “Write Your Own Christie” competition in 2015.'
