"Ashley Dyer is a writing duo based in the United Kingdom." This is their first book together and it was a very good mystery. Kept me guessing until the end, but then I'm not the best at figuring out "whodunnit" in advance!

Just starting Barracoon, The Story of the Last "Black Cargo," by Zora Neale Hurston. It features an interview in 1927 with the last known slaver to have made the transatlantic journey. Illegally brought to the US, Cudjo was enslaved 50 years after the slave trade was outlawed. (from the bookjacket)
