It's an absolute gem of a first novel and the sort of book that will delight not only hard-core mystery fans, but also those who visit the genre only casually..[It] is not simply an extraordinarily well-crafted mystery; it's also an extremely well-structured and deftly written novel.. Wife of the Gods undoubtedly will be compared with Alexander McCall Smith's phenomenally successful "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, but Quartey's debut is -- to this reader, at least -- a far richer and more sophisticated experience. The author is working on a second novel and, if it lives up to this one's promise, mystery fans have an important new voice to savor.
Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times

Crisp, engrossing debut.. Fans of McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels will relish the opportunity to discover yet another intriguing area of Africa.
Booklist, Starred Review

Move over Alexander McCall Smith. Ghana has joined Botswana on the map of mystery . . . more sociological than McCall Smith's, his setting [is] more rural and susceptible to the ways of magicians..[This] newcomer is most welcome.
Kirkus Reviews

Quartey's winning debut, a police procedural set in modern Ghana, introduces gifted detective Darko Dawson ... a wonderful creation, a man as rich with contradictions as the Ghana Quartey so delightfully evokes ... readers will be eager for the next installment in what one hopes will be a long series.
