This book is a nice captivating and thought-provoking read. The author's writing style is engaging and the storyline is compelling, drawing the reader in from the very first page. I found myself fully immersed in the characters and their struggles, and the themes explored throughout the book left me with much to reflect on long after finishing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great read."

I was so eager to read this book, having heard a lot of good things about it I wanted to so badly, so sad I couldn't find it anymore to read.

Hi @Kshitij Vaishnav, I just read your comments on the official review of "Quest: Finding Freddie" and while your text is well worded, I could not tell what review you were commenting on. The comments should indicate that you read the official review and sample. For example, “Quest: Finding Freddie by Thomas Richard Spradlin is a story about Frederick David Nachman of the Nachman International Trading Corporation disappeared on August 14, 1976 in Lagos. Earlier in the year General Murtala Muhammed was assassinated in February 1976 and Nigeria was highly disrupted and the terror resulted in public executions on a regular basis. Nachman’s wife hired their attorney, Thomas Spradlin, the author of this story, to find him. He asked for help at the Swedish and U.S. embassies since Nachman was Swedish by birth and he was a U.S. resident when he disappeared. Neither offered to help since he had left Sweden many years ago and he never became a U.S. citizen. To learn the outcome of this story based on true facts with names changed to protect their privacy one must read the book. This is a very intriguing book that includes cultures, politics and antisemitism. With Nigeria in a bloodbath after the attempted military coup and Jews being persecuted by countries that belonged to the Organization of African Unity the search for Nachman was very dangerous.

The mix of real events and the author's personal journey in Lagos sounds intriguing. The mysterious disappearance and the challenges Mr. Spradlin faced make me curious to dive deeper into this story. I’m definitely interested in reading it to see how it all unfolds.

Hi @Louis Donald, I just read your comments on the official review of "Quest: Finding Freddie" and I think you would have been able to enhance your comments if you read the entire sample.

Earlier in the year General Murtala Muhammed was assassinated in February 1976 and Nigeria was highly disrupted and the terror resulted in public executions on a regular basis.
