I listened to this book as an audiobook - narrated by SAUL REICHLIN - and loved how he mastered all the different South-African accents and languages. Audiobooks can really improve a reading experience this way. The book is fast paced and suspension is built in quickly - with lots of quick cutovers to different scenes. Very movie-like. The people that populate it are however what make it a very enjoyable read - as always with the best thrillers. Recovering alcoholic Benny Griessel, the ueber-polite inspector Wussi, the feminist inspector that no ones likes but who is always right - and the jokes that get cracked about the New South-Africa - great fun. Also, the way the plot got finished up in the end was very satisfying. No rush to end the book there, but a nice rolling out of new possibilities for the main actors.
