"Fans of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency may have a new hero: Detective Inspector Darko Dawson."--The Wall Street Journal Introducing Detective Inspector Darko Dawson: dedicated family man, rebel in the office, ace in the field--and one of the most appealing sleuths to come along in years. When we first meet Dawson, he's been ordered by his cantankerous boss to leave behind his loving wife and young son in Ghana's capital city to lead a murder investigation: In a shady grove outside the small town of Ketanu, a young woman--a promising medical student--has been found dead under suspicious circumstances. Dawson is fluent in Ketanu's indigenous language, so he's the right man for the job, but the local police are less than thrilled with an outsider's interference. For Dawson, this sleepy corner of Ghana is rife with emotional land mines: an estranged relationship with the family he left behind twenty-five years earlier and the painful memory of his own mother's inexplicable disappearance. Armed with remarkable insight and a healthy dose of skepticism, Dawson soon finds his cosmopolitan sensibilities clashing with age-old customs, including a disturbing practice in which teenage girls are offered to fetish priests as trokosi, or Wives of the Gods. Delving deeper into the student's haunting death, Dawson will uncover long-buried secrets that, to his surprise, hit much too close to home. Praise for Wife of the Gods "An absolute gem . . . mystery fans have an important new voice to savor."--Los Angeles Times "Full of suspense, humor and plot twists . . . Quartey's remarkable characters give the reader a worthy whodunit."--Ebony " A] winning debut . . . Dawson is a wonderful creation, a man as rich with contradictions as the Ghana Quartey so delightfully evokes."--Publishers Weekly "Engrossing . . . Quartey] renders a compelling cast of characters. . . . Fans of McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency will relish the opportunity to discover yet another intriguing area of Africa."--Booklist (starred review)Binding Type: Paperback

Great for keeping bank statements clean but random security delays are frustrating
Reload type: One Time Reload
I use the balance reload tool to manage my monthly budget and easily hit credit card sign-up bonuses. It keeps my bank statements totally clean by grouping dozens of tiny e-book and movie rental charges into one single transaction. Most of the time the whole process works flawlessly and the money shows up in my account within five minutes. It is honestly the easiest way to put a hard limit on my family's everyday online shopping.
You just need to watch out for a few annoying system quirks when you load larger amounts of money. Even though it usually works instantly the automated security filter sometimes flags big reloads and freezes the transaction for hours. This random delay is incredibly frustrating if you are trying to add cash fast to catch a lightning deal before it expires. You also have to remember that this balance is strictly non-refundable and cannot be used to buy other gift cards.
Overall this is still a great method for organizing online spending and maximizing your cash-back credit card rewards. It totally fixed how I track household purchases but you definitely have to tolerate the occasional processing delays. My best advice is to load your account a day or two before you actually need to buy a big-ticket item. It works perfectly as a budgeting tool as long as you know the rules and plan for the random security hold.

Fantastic for gaming and productivity, but missing USB-C rechargeability
Color: Classic Black, Color: Classic Black
I recently purchased the Razer Orochi V2, and overall, it is an amazing mouse. The build quality is absolutely fantastic, and it feels premium. It fits perfectly in my palm, and the materials and clicks have a very pleasant tactile feel. I use it daily for both gaming and work, and it performs flawlessly in both scenarios. Compared to my Razer Pro Click, the Orochi V2 actually fits my hand much better. In fact, I now only use the Pro Click as a backup for when the Orochi's battery suddenly dies!
There is really only one downside for me: it runs on disposable batteries rather than having a built-in rechargeable one. On the plus side, it only needs a single battery to operate, and I love the clever design that allows you to use either a standard AA or a smaller AAA battery depending on your weight preference.
However, I would really love to see a future version of this exact mouse with a built-in battery and a standard USB Type-C charging port. If you don't mind swapping batteries occasionally, this is a near-perfect mouse. Highly recommended!
