"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

Not just for kids. A great snack for long drives.
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our daughter buys these for her toddler (1-1/2 years old). I do a lot of long distance driving and thought that these would be a convenient way to have a snack or even a small meal. I have just spent six days behind the wheel on a road trip and they worked out great! A good mixture of protein (beef, turkey, chicken) and veggies, especially the combinations. They are easy and safe to use while driving, have good flavor, are more filling than I thought they would be, and are certainly healthier than the snacks that are usually available on the road.

One Satisfied Mom and Baby
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Early on when on the hunt for baby food, this was one of the few brands where not only can I pronounce all of its organic ingredients, but the proteins were all pasture raised, wild caught and grass fed. So the true test was the taste test, SHE LOVED IT! Ate the whole thing in a matter of minutes. I use these when I’m out or on the run and I love it because I know she’s getting adequate nutrition with the best ingredients.

Hear Me Out!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Okay, all moms, you've got to hear me out on this one!
The first time my kiddo tried this he hated the flavor! I mentioned it in my IG stories and the company themselves sent me tips and tricks on how to serve these meats.
The problem was, my baby had never had baby meat before, just fruits and veggies. Please understand that the thickness is a little thicker, but still creamy enough for even new eaters. We tried different recipes and ideas and now my son love them and gets his proteins.
I am SUPER impressed with this company and their willingness to help and offer advice and ideas. Their products are HIGH quality and made of only the best ingredients which makes this mama very happy!

Gives me peace of mind to find a healthy meat substitute
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6), Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I’ve been looking for a healthy mean purée squeezy and my daughter loved this! Ate the entire pouch no problem in her first try! My daughter has a rare genetic condition where she lacks the ability to stop bad cell growth so she’s more susceptible to getting sick so I feel better that we found a healthy alternative

High protein snack
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our toddler enjoys this new flavor, but is generally a fan of Serenity meat pouches, so... I appreciate that it has 100 calories and more protein (6g rather than 5g) than some other flavors. That makes it a more substantial snack.
