From critically acclaimed author Troy Onyango comes a dark, suspenseful tale of spirits bearing witness to a crime that rocks an island community, based on the Luo legend of the water people.

When fishermen on Nam Lolwe (commonly known as Lake Victoria) return with the body of a young boy found inside the sack, a close-knit island is thrown into mourning, and they all suspect foul play in the death of the child. But who could have committed such a terrible crime, and why? To discover the truth, the islanders must rely on the water spirits beneath the lake’s surface - the only souls who serve as witnesses to the vile act.

I had to listen to this story twice before I understood it. But, it was worth the listen.

I loved everything about listening to this, except that I didn't want it to end! The style and lyrical narration was quite enjoyable.

Very enjoyable

This was a well written story. At times it was rough because of the realism in certain situations and feelings, but it was still artfully done. It wasn't necessarily explicit or vulgar, just unblemished and raw. This is what made it relatable or at least visual despite the occasional subtlety or vaugueness . I did not expect the ending but i do not think it was lacking in anyway.

unexpected twist and very good

I loved the way it was told, all the different viewpoints. I wouldn’t say the ending was unexpected but the journey was worth taking. I don’t know why this is classified as horror. It’s not. It’s a typical mystery in an unusual place with interesting cultural insight and some ghosts. The only horror I suppose is the crime.

Interesting story
