Gaslight by Femi Kayode

--:--
Thank you for tuning into this episode of Pagecast, presented by Jonathan Ball Publishers.

Today's episode features Gaslight by Femi Kayode.

In this follow-up to Kayode's "action-packed and spirited debut" Philip Taiwo returns to solve a missing-persons case, and in so doing, uncovers dark secrets the church has worked tirelessly to hide.

From the very first chapter, Femi Kayode’s Gas Light immerses you in a world brimming with drama, psychological twists, and intrigue. Kayode's storytelling is both thrilling and imaginative, leaving readers eagerly anticipating each turn. The novel explores the paradox of a Forbes-celebrated pastor-bishop who operates in the nexus of old and new wealth, yet faces severe public scrutiny. As tensions rise and suspicions grow, the question remains: in a world where so many feel uneasy, who or what is truly to blame?

In this episode, Femi engages in an lovely conversation with Dr Wamuwi Mbao — writer, essayist and English Lecturer at Stellenbosch University.

Enjoy!
