Shiri Golan is smart, intelligent, and successful—top media girl and owner of Golan Technologies that’s hired to develop stealth software for the Kenya Defence Forces fighter jets.
But she isn’t as smart when she falls in love with a Catholic priest, and skeletons crawl out of her perfect man’s closet, hauling betrayal, a dark past, and deadly secrets with them.
Hurt, betrayed, and vengeful, Shiri finds herself caught between forgiveness and justice and fighting unknown forces.
This is definitely a great read, and the suspense is simply enthralling.

Murdering Romance by Kendi Karimi
A Wakini Kuria Prize & African Writers Awards shortlisted author
Murdering Romance is a story about Mukami who simply wanted to experience an actual authentic moment of genuine love and call it her own. But let the title not lull you into thinking that the book is solely about romance. It is much more. The author first portrays Mukami as this lady who seems to be on a revenge mission disguised as a pursuit of love but as the plot thickens, the storyline evolves into other deeper issues. The book delves deep into several themes including domestic violence, toxic masculinity, femininity, absentee parents and abuse, among others.
Often there is a gulf of difference between fiction and non-fiction but in Murdering Romance, the dissimilarity between the two is too blurred to discern.
