GRIESSEL AND CUPIDO ARE EXPECTING A QUIET LIFE

Detectives Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido remain on duty in beautiful Stellenbosch, but run-of-the-mill police work in a leafy university town famed for its vineyards is a far cry from their previous life in Cape Town fighting crime at the highest level. For now, Benny has more pressing things to worry about - it's the countdown to his wedding day on 12 June.

BUT THE PEACE IS ABOUT TO BE SHATTERED

When a student is found dead on a mountain trail, and the key suspect, a local businessman, is found murdered in what looks like a professional hit delivering a message - suffocated by fast-action filler foam sprayed down his throat - Griessel and Cupido both know this the work of professionals.
Benny also knows he needs a cool head to untangle this web of deceit, and to manage the incessant pressure. He needs to stay calm, focused - and sober. And it all needs to be wrapped up by 12 June.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING. AND CHAOS IS COMING...

The intrique

Great storyline, kept me hooked throughout. Bit of a blunt inconclusive, hasty end…. Feels like its left with some loose ends?

As always a compelling story BUT a really MEDIOCRE NARRATOR - accents shocking, - kinda spoilt the book

Poor narrator - good story / what happened to Reichlen the guy who has narrated previous Deon Meyer books - he was superb

Gripping

Exciting story from one of my favourite authors. Can’t wait for the next Benny book.

good buildup of plots and counterparts

got to know the characters who appeared authentic . Good plot central plot and enough depth to the characters to carry both good and bad traits.
Thankyou

Another outstanding novel from Deon Meyer

A brilliantly authentic performance of Leo. I didn’t want it to end but also desperate to see how it came together. At the end I was left wanting a little more… Is it too soon to ask when the next book comes out?

The entire story

Authenticity of the entire story and factual portrayal of characters and events making it real to read.

I miss Saul. RIP

Middle of the road Bennie and Vaughn tale. A lot of loose ends like in real life. Tau is a handful.

As much as I don’t mind Peter Noble in general, it was strange to not have Saul narrating. It changed a lot of the personalities we’ve come to know and love and Peter’s characters sometimes sound the same so you’re not always sure who’s talking. Also, he uses a lot of the same voices from the other Deon Meyer he narrates (Fever), so I kept expecting a cross over. It doesn’t help that many of the middle of nowhere places in this book also appear frequently in Fever. So all of that kind of ruined it for me.

Disappointing narration

As always, another great novel from Deon Meyer, but why was Saul Reichlin not narrating? Noble tried, but his accents just didn't cut it. A disappointing listen.

Story line

Hope she sees her kittens. Buy her farm. And live happely ever after. Great story line

Nail biting

One of the better books I've listened to in a long time. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
