Synopsis

In the bustling heart of Lagos, a disturbing pattern emerges: new mothers are succumbing to terrifying episodes of paranoia and psychosis. Dr. Teni Adeyemi, a tenacious psychiatrist, refuses to accept the dismissive explanations of mere 'baby blues.' Her resolve hardens when her own childhood friend nearly harms her infant, a chilling incident linked to a mysterious new supplement distributed in local hospitals. Uncovering a conspiracy of immense proportions, Teni finds an unlikely ally in Dapo Ige, a sharp investigative journalist whose own past brushes with danger have made him cautious but determined. Their partnership is a clash of worlds—Teni’s demand for irrefutable facts versus Dapo’s pursuit of headline-grabbing truths. As they delve deeper, they expose a sinister plot by an international pharmaceutical giant, aided by corrupt officials, to test an unapproved postpartum drug on unsuspecting women. The stakes escalate dramatically as they race against time, dodging hired assassins and navigating the treacherous landscape of power and deception. With Teni’s sister due to give birth in a high-risk hospital, they must expose the deadly truth before she becomes the next victim, navigating a dangerous path where survival and love become inextricably intertwined.

This first chapter really drew me in, setting a spooky atmosphere right away. Dr. Teni Adeyemi seems like a character with a lot of grit, and the medical mystery is quite compelling. The writing style flows well, making the Lagos setting feel vivid and the growing unease palpable. I'm definitely interested in reading the rest to find out what's really going on with these new mothers. The hint of a conspiracy and the focus on vulnerable women makes me curious about how it all unfolds. Can't wait to see where this story goes with the introduction of a potential pharmaceutical plot. The author has created a solid foundation for what promises to be a thrilling read. This preview definitely leaves you wanting more, hinting at danger and a race against time. It feels like there's a lot of potential for suspense and intricate plotting. I'm eager to discover if Teni can uncover the truth before it's too late for anyone else.

The first chapter of Lagos Blues presents a concerning situation but didn't quite grip me as expected. The writing style is straightforward, setting the scene effectively, though Dr. Adeyemi felt a bit underdeveloped here. The premise of a sinister plot behind postpartum psychosis is certainly intriguing. I'm curious to see if the author can build on this foundation. The hints of a conspiracy are there, but the payoff in this initial chapter was somewhat muted. I'm on the fence about whether this is worth upgrading to read the complete version just yet. The opening sets up an intriguing premise, but it needs more momentum to truly hook a thriller reader. I'm interested in reading the rest to see if the pacing picks up.

This first chapter really drew me in with its potent atmosphere. Dr. Teni Adeyemi feels like a character with serious depth and determination. The way the disturbing pattern among new mothers is presented is chillingly effective. I'm thoroughly impressed by how Mayowa Taiwo Adedokun has set up this mystery so early on. The pacing and the unfolding dread make me eager to discover what happens next. I'm definitely interested in reading the rest of Lagos Blues. This looks like a story that truly grips you from the very beginning. Worth upgrading to read the complete version of this thriller.
