    About this ebook

    Tamar Myers returns to Africa in The Headhunter’s Daughter, the second book in her wonderful mystery series set in the Belgian Congo in the mid-twentieth century—a riveting and atmospheric follow-up to The Witchdoctor’s Wife. Raised in the Congo herself, the child of missionaries, Myers uses her intimate knowledge of the people, the culture, and the landscape to add richness to this stunning story of an abandoned infant raised by a tribe of headhunters—a masterful mystery that fans of Alexander McCall Smith and The #1 Ladies’ Detective Agency will adore.

      I didn’t really like this book. I thought the plot was hard to follow. I think this book would have been better if it focused more on the white child and her life instead of incorporating a mystery into the plot. I am sure others would disagree with me. I am just not the right audience for this book.
    • 4/5
      Loved the book. Fast and interesting read. Definitely recommend it. Different subject matter than I ever read before, but it's still a mystery. Because of a kidnapping ploy, a white girl spends 13 years with a headhunting tribe. She loves her family and is truly a tribe member. I didn't guess who Mastermind was until the very end. I love what happens to Ugly Eyes in the end.

      I got this book as part of the ER program and just forgot to review it.I think I would have related more to the story if I had read the first book, since this turned out to be the second in the series. I found the plot hard to keep up with at times, but everything did move along quickly. Overall, I had a hard time sticking with this one and it was quickly forgotten.

      I received this book as part of the ER program. However, I never would have requested it if I had realized that it was actually the second book in a series, something that the ER description doesn't mention. To be fair, this book does work as a stand alone novel, but there are a few allusions to the previous book and the entire time I was reading I just had the feeling that I was missing something. This is a mystery set in the 1950s Belgian Congo, and it does provide an interesting look at the juxtaposition of the native and missionary cultures. Overall though, the story was not that compelling and I didn't feel the need to seek out other books in the series.
    • 4/5
      In a kidnapping plot gone wrong, a white infant is abandoned in a deserted area of the Belgian Congo, where she is discovered by a young boy of the Bashilele tribe. Not knowing what else to do, the boy takes the baby home. The boys' parents adopt her and raise her as a member of their tribe. Thirteen years later, missionary Amanda Brown accompanies the local police chief to find the white girl rumored to live among the Bashilele, setting in motion a chain of events that will lead to tragedy.Issues of race and culture are at the heart of this story. The white population of the Belgian Congo, whether Catholic or Protestant, Belgian or American, see only the girl's white skin. They don't think it's suitable for a white girl to live as an African – never mind that the European culture is completely foreign to her and she can't speak any of its languages. In addition to the racial and cultural tensions between the black and white communities, there are tensions between cultural groups within each community. The Americans don't completely trust the Belgians, and the Flemish Belgians and Walloon Belgians are wary of each other. Amanda's head housekeeper, Protruding Navel, and his assistant, Cripple, are of different tribes that despise each other, but are united in their dislike of the Bashilele. With independence looming in the not-too-distant future, there are hints that things are going to become a lot worse.The humor in the novel frequently made me uncomfortable. It's the kind of humor that comes at others' expense, far different from the affectionate humor of Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels. Amanda is the kindest of the characters, yet even she is often motivated by self-interest rather than a desire to help others. It's an interesting place and time to read about, but it's not somewhere I want to linger.
    • 4/5
      At first I couldn’t decide if this was intended to be drama, satire, or comedy. Now I think it is a clever combination of all three. It’s the story of a white baby raised by black Africans in the Belgian Congo back in the 1950s. It’s told with humor and satire combined with a keen sense of the different cultures – the author is the daughter of missionaries and spent time in the Congo as a child. Well done and insightful.

      Tamar Myers, The Headhunter’s Daughter, (NY: Harper Collins) 2011 Tamar Myers spent years writing clever mystery novels about the curious coexistence of the Amish with their worldly neighbors. Their star, the innkeeper Magdalena Yoder, an accidental criminologist delved into the machinations of this rural milieu, unraveling a host of murder means and methods in this seemingly simple environment. Myers also published sixteen novels in the Den of Antiquities series predicated upon the world of bibelots and the fine arts. Endowed with an unflagging gift for bizarre humor and ironic plot structure, Myers seems to sense when she needs to set up her multi-storied tents in new milieus. In the author’s newest series of mystery adventures, two published thus far, Myers takes her readers into the Belgian Congo of the late 1950’s where she and her missionary family lived from the time of her birth until she was ready for high school. Into this setting she unleashes a new innocent abroad: Protestant Amanda Brown, barely out her teens, literally crashes into the Congo, as the plane bringing her to her assignment falls to pieces in a botched landing. In THE WITCH DOCTOR’S WIFE, the book preceding this one, Amanda catapults into her new job as manager of a hostel for missionaries on R&R from their duties in the bush, without any of the material resources she brought with her from the United States: no trendy clothing, books, or other equipment survived the wreck. Now she must survive in the strange divided world dominated by a rapacious Belgian diamond mining company led by an alcoholic operations manager. Facing a snooty houseman with the unlikely name of Protruding Navel, Amanda bravely begins work clad in clothing sizes too large for her. Protruding Navel, the demon of the place, pretends not to understand her requests most of the time. This awkwardly unpropitious first impression can scarcely win her much status with the style conscious cocktail swilling European country club set with whom she must interact on a daily basis as a white person or putative peer. Despite the loss of material possessions, Amanda still carries the psychic baggage of her southern upbringing from the Jim Crow era where apartheid was de rigueur. Early on, fed up with her houseman, Amanda hires the highly intelligent woman Cripple, the eponymous witch doctor’s wife, as a household assistant, resulting in almost perpetual (often comic) domestic conflict. Myers introduces us to Cripple’s life within a complex polygamous tribe. At the end of the first book, Cripple miraculously eluded the gallows. In THE HEAD HUNTER’S DAUGHTER, she will become a key player in the events that transpire. The reader will constantly be faced with social incongruities as the natives gradually reveal a consciousness of the potential of liberation from this Belgian occupation. The reader will discover that Myer’s heart is with these Africans, perhaps more than with the Europeans or with the missionaries. Bringing forward her less than nostalgic impressions of an early contact with African colonialism, Myers manages a cast of characters within this polarizing environment, engaging members of several Congolese tribes vs. European corporate managers as well as the shifting alliances of these players with the political/cultural arena of Catholic and Protestant missions. In THE HEAD HUNTER’S DAUGHTER, Amanda joins a search party when the Belgian police inspector receives a report that a young European girl was spotted living with a tribe of headhunters fairly far back in the bush. Amanda, who has been given the tribal sobriquet UGLY EYES, now comes face to face with a teenager the Bushilele adopted as a kidnapped infant after killing her captors, who has the same name in their dialect. When Amanda arrives back at the hostel with her protégé, the resident missionaries react with horror to the mere hint that the girl will have a room near theirs. They have no idea that she can communicate in a language they and Cripple could understand. The girl manages to maintain a posture of ignorance. The reader now becomes a witness to all the cultural clashes inherent in this standoff. Where is the girl’s family? Will she gradually become acculturated to European ways? Too much information would spoil potential audience’s experiences.

      Tamar Myers had my attention right from the beginning of her mystery, The Headhunter's Daughter, in her "Notes to the Reader," where she explained some of the characteristics of Bantu languages. This novel was interesting to me not because of the plot or any of the characters, but because it brought to life the setting of the Belgian Congo in the 1950's. Descriptions of various tribal customs and rivalries, as well as the uneasy relationship between the Catholic and Protestant missionaries, brought the book to life. Included at the back of the book is a conversation with the author, complete with very irritating questions and fascinating answers. The Headhunter's Daughter was a quick, easy read, which I enjoyed.
    • 3/5
      Although I found the author's writing very descriptive and professional and her background in the Congo certainly added to the authentic feel, I found it difficult to connect with any of the characters and consequently didn't care much about the "mystery" which was the basis of this story. There were some humorous parts and that made the book a bit more enjoyable to me.
    • 4/5
      I received this for an ER selection.Reading this book is like dropping into another culture for a few hours. Set in the (then) Belgian Congo in 1958, the story involves a long-ago kidnapping that went awry and the repercussions of this event 13 years later.A wide variety of people inhabit this novel, including missionaries, members of different African tribes, and representatives of the Belgian ruling class. There is no clearly "main" character; the lives of several women are given almost equal weight in the narrative.Much more about the exploration of character and the interaction of cultures than about the storyline, "Headhunter's Daughter" is a fascinating and comical glimpse of life in a colonial country on the edge of independence. Each culture is treated respectfully, but not with reverence; the author pokes gentle fun at all of them. While this story can be read as a stand-alone, the reader will enjoy it more fully, I think, if (s)he reads "The Witchdoctor's Wife" first, as there is a lot of backstory involved. This makes the plot, reed-thin in any case, a bit hard to follow if one hasn't read the previous book. Two very minor drawbacks are some obvious spelling errors and a couple of very modern phrases used in an anachronistic fashion. The publisher should employ a decent copy editor to clean up these small distractions.I really enjoyed this book, which I found both interesting and amusing. I'll look for others in this series.

      The Headhunter's daughter is not his blood daughter, she was the victim of a kidnapping plot that went really wrong....13 years after living with her new family rumors of a white girl living with the natives have to be investigated...all does not turn out the way people hope but there is a happy ending of sorts...this was for the most part a good book but it left too many questions unanswered and the characters could have been explored further....
    • 3/5
      A white child is discovered living with headhunter parents in remote Africa. For headhunters, it is considered a right of passage to kill a person from another tribe and use their skull as a mug. So how could a child outsider survive not just the culture but the wilderness? 'The Headhunter's Daughter' is a sequel to the first in this series, 'The Witch Doctor's Wife'. I have not read the first book, but though some of the plot of the first book is mentioned in the sequel and the same characters are here, it isn't necessary to read the first book. The story keeps moving between many characters point of view, which keeps it quick. The ending is unexpected which is nice, but at the same time, may be a bit of a stretch to make the ending unguessable. And there seems to be some loose ends that will be resolved in the next book of the series. The Headhunter's Daughter would be a perfect fit for many readers. It's a nice change of pace for readers of mystery but it also has other elements in it that readers that usually avoid mysteries would love. Its a bit more than just murder! I only read Sherlock Holmes in the mystery genre, so I would know it isn't just for mystery fans! But if this series sounds like your kind of thing, why not go for it?
    • 3/5
      The Headhunter's Daughter was an enjoyable book. As you might expect, the interaction between different cultures lays the groundwork for the story. I always enjoy learning about other cultures and this book provides a little glimpse into cultures in the Congo pre-1950. Since I had not read the previous book in this series, there were times when I wished I knew some of the background to certain situations or wished characters were more developed. Overall, this book will appeal to someone looking for a light mystery without shocking or lurid details of crime. The story was pretty tame and is tied up in a neat package at the end. The author's interview at the end of the book was very interesting and left me wishing I could read a memoir of her childhood.I would recommend this book and will probably try to read the first book in this series.
    • 4/5
      I love books like this. Myers took real stories from her youth and wove them into her fictional work and everything was so vivid and you get a true feel for the time and place. I love the use of such inviting characters, although I almost wish more would would have been packed into those pages. I was left wanting more, so I am left thinking there must be another book in the works?? Since this was my first book by Myers, I think I am going to have to go back and get the others.

      Amanda Brown, a young missionary in Africa goes in search of a white girl who, she has heard, is living among Bashilele headhunters. But when Amanda finds her, Ugly Eyes is comfortable in the world she has known for 13 years and doesn’t want to return to white society. Through backflashes and different voices we learn the secrets surrounding the birth of Ugly Eyes and how she came to belong to an African tribe. Sometimes those different voices changed so abruptly that I missed the transition and had to go back and reread. For me, the strength of The Headhunter’s Daughter was the fascinating picture of the Congo painted by Myers, as she drew on her own experiences as a child of missionary parents. In fact, I enjoyed the interview with the author at the end of the book as much as I enjoyed the story itself.
    • 2/5
      This book had all the elements of a great story, but somehow it didn't pan out. The mystery plot was weak, and I didn't care for the way the author gave the reader the "secret view" of the "Mastermind" characters thoughts and motivations. It just didn't flow at all.
    • 3/5
      This book fizzled soon after it began. The title and opening pages are intriguing but the story degrades quickly. The characters are weak, the plot is thin, and there is an overabundance of cliche written into the both the dialogue and prose. The ending was predictable and "tidy". The author does toss in some interesting tidbits about 1950's life in the Belgian Congo.

      First Line: The gravel pits had been haunted for the past six years, ever since the first white woman drowned.In 1945 an infant was left out by the gravel pits as a result of a botched kidnapping plot. The baby girl is found by a young Bashilele tribesman on his quest to claim the head of an enemy. The young boy takes the baby back to his tribe where she is raised as a member of his family-- even though her pale skin, straw-like hair and strange blue eyes mark her as being very different from the rest.Thirteen years later, young missionary Amanda Brown hears the stories of a white girl living among the Bashilele headhunters. She enlists the help of the local police chief, Captain Pierre Jardin, and brings along the witch doctor's wife, Cripple, to act as translator. They find the young girl (now called "Ugly Eyes") and bring her back to the Missionary Rest House and "civilization". But the young white girl no longer belongs in Amanda Brown's world, and the secrets surrounding her birth and disappearance prove to be very deadly indeed.Author Tamar Myers was born and raised in the Congo, so this is very familiar territory to her. (When reading the book, don't skip The Author Answers Some of Your Questions section at the end of the book where Myers talks about her life in Africa.)The plot is well-paced and the mystery very intriguing. I didn't figure out the mastermind behind everything and did an "of course!" eye roll at the reveal.Amanda is a good blend of strength and naivete. She truly wants to do the right thing even if that right thing doesn't coincide with what her judgmental elders believe-- and she has the delightful habit of speaking her mind before she can stop herself.The book really shines in the setting and the clashing cultures. Myers delves a bit deeper into the Congo's tortured past as a colony under the rule of King Leopold II of Belgium and what the whites believe will happen when the Congo becomes independent in a couple of years.The clashing cultures show to best advantage when Amanda's servants at the guest house try to decipher white behavior and dress. The scene where Cripple and Protruding Navel try to figure out how to put a bra on the young white girl is hilarious.Returning to "civilization" after so many years, the young white girl probably has the best sense of the difference between the cultures: " The laughter of women as they set about doing their daily chores. Next to her mother, that is what Ugly Eyes had missed the most about village life. White people were so serious, their mouths perpetually pulled down at the corners, their foreheads so quick to pucker. Ugly Eyes did not know of a single village woman who bore vertical creases between her eyes, yet almost every woman at the party the night before had at least the beginnings of one."I enjoy this series for its truthfulness, gentleness, humor and unpredictability. There is more than meets the eye between their covers. The lasting image of the books for me is the resident gargantuan crocodile who lives at the bottom of the ravine next to the Missionary Rest House. Seldom ever seen, the crocodile is well fed, since the rest house throws its garbage down there. In addition, there have been times that the unwary human has stumbled at the edge and fallen... never to be seen again.
