So much suspense! What a masterpiece! Great performance.

Saul, as usual, excellently delivers this brilliant piece by Deon Meyer. The narration is absolutely brilliant and the story kept me on the edge of my seat. What a great mystery. I found myself shouting at the detectives to see what was in front of them.

Loveley

It's hard to objectively experience a story set in a place you are so intimately familiar with. But once you set aside your own view and feel for everything, you start to appreciate the truths and caricatures of it. The load shedding, the traffic etc.

Thorougly enjoyed it.

Nail biting from beginning to end

Edge of your seat story cleverly written with stand out narration. Suspense, action and humor. Brilliant.

Deon Meyer delivers another page turner

Deon Meyer delivers another page turner with master narrator Saul Reichlin bringing characters and surroundings to life. Set amid the turmoil of post Aparthied South Africa, a penchant for alcohol and a fragmented family, Inspector Benny Griessel pulls off the impossible to save a young girl's life and in doing so uncovers a human smuggling and organ harvesting operation. Another top tier effort which has me looking forward to the next in the series.
