Over the last few years, I've become a huge fan of the Akashic Noir series, and Accra Noir is no exception to the series' quality. Maybe more than any other collection I've read, it brings its focus city to life, so that Accra becomes a real place and character explored through the pages of the stories collected here. The voices are so varied, there's a lot to be admired here, and my only complaint is that many of the authors represented here seem to be new voices...which means I can't find more of their work so soon as I'd like! Truly, though, that speaks to the quality of this wonderful collection.

My favorites in the collection included works by: Kwame Dawes, Ernest Kwame Nkrumah Addo, Anne Sackey, Nana-Ama Danquah, Eibhlin Ni Chleirigh, and Anna Bossman.

Absolutely recommended.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this series from Akashic Books. Even if an individual story doesn't work for me, the immersion in a new city is a fascinating journey.

I have read several of the volumes of short stories in the Akashic "Noir" series, and this was the first one I really didn't like. The stories are very similar. There is very little character development or plot development in most of the thirteen stories. I would not call them "noir" stories at all. A very disappointing volume.
