Book Review of The Headhunter's Daughter

The Headhunter's Daughter
reading-voraciously avatar reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


The Headhunter's Daughter is a great sequel to The Witch Doctor's Wife. Myers' early childhood memories as the daughter of missionaries in Congo have formed a basis for these two stories. What a surprising story and interesting characters who are sometimes what I'd say are typical! The story is a mystery about a white girl found in an African tribe and the setting is a small village where there are many Europeans, several African tribes represented, and a few Americans. Wherever did the girl come from? What a great story!
If you didn't already read The Witch Doctor's Wife you will be eager to where several of the characters are the same.
