What the Critics Say
"Complex, finely wrought characters, keen psychological insight and a compelling plot lift this crime novel from South African author Meyer." (Publishers Weekly)

"fantastic thriller, read by a master."
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes, I rave about this writer. He is so smart at constructing a plot and making the details speak about socio political issues without any ponderous statements. It all happens through the voices of the characters, often with wonderful humour.
Who was your favorite character and why?Love Bennie Griesel. More of him please
Any additional comments?More Deon Meyer please!
Saul Reichlin is wonderful, so accomplished at getting the nuances of accents and characters.2 of 2 people found this review helpful -

"Great Book"
I enjoyed this book from the narrator to the story. Good charaters and detail. There was swearing but I thought it was in context and not over done.

"Exceptional Book, but not for the easily offended."
A surprisingly good book. Great imperfect and believable characters. For me the South African location and politics was somewhat exotic and a welcome change from your typical locations. Saul Reichlin's narration goes beyond excellent with believable accents for the characters. Saul is by far my favourite Narrator and in my opinion is king of his craft.

"Don't go there!!"
Way to much swearing and profanity. It is not worth it. The narrator breaks the book where the author failed to break it.
