Here is a mystery, suspense, or thriller ebook that we recently found — and you may have missed — by sleuthing (as it were) through new titles from independent publishers …
Death at the Voyager Hotel by Kwei Quartey is a mystery novella, potentially the first in a new series, introducing amateur sleuth Paula Djan, a school principal in Accra, Ghana. Quartey is the author of the Darko Dawson mysteries, also set in Ghana, the first of which we rated one of the best books published in 2009.

Death at the Voyager Hotel by Kwei Quartey
A Paula Djan Mystery
Publisher: Kwei Quartey
In the cosmopolitan West African city of Accra, the Voyager Hotel is widely known as a low-priced, well-run lodging perfectly suited to cash-strapped tourists. But one early March morning, it gains a notoriety it would rather not have. Hotel guest Heather Peterson, a beautiful, young Oregonian teacher, is found dead at the bottom of the pool. The police authorities deem it an accidental drowning, but that raises troubling questions. Heather was a strong swimmer. How could she have drowned, and why was she naked?
Paula Djan, principal of the school at which Heather was a volunteer, suspects foul play and begins to dig around. As she discovers an increasing number of suspects, she encounters hostility from the police investigators, who take a dim view of her snooping. But much more than stepping on a few toes, she may be headed down a dangerous path where the killer lies in wait with every intention to make Paula the second death at the Voyager Hotel.
