About this listen

**WINNER OF THE AKTV PRIZE FOR BEST AFRIKAANS THRILLER OF 2024**

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...

A multi-faceted story, complex plot with engaging characters- despite most of them being baddies - and the relationship between Benny and his familiars at the heart of it as usual. Excellent narration.

His best yet?

The best narration I've heard for Deon's books and a must for anyone following Bennie's trials and tribulations

Exceptional story that builds and builds...

Benny Griessel and Vaughan Cupido are still warrant officers. Their past exploits not forgiven. Griessel is happy to welcome the calm because he and Alexa are due to be married in a few weeks’ time.

Recces, former members of the South African Army devise a daring plan to steal millions of dollars originally brought in for the Chanda’s, by Ishan Babbar – a ruthless man. They know that Babbar can’t report it to the police, however, will his first thought after the robberies be that the thieves are members of the original recces?

A girl is found murdered on a Stellenbosch mountain trail. Griessel and Cupido quickly work out who murdered her but before they can arrest him, he’s found dead – asphyxiated by filler foam. Who is this man? Why has been executed in such a barbaric way?

There are two storylines – one following the characters involved in the robberies and Griessel and Cupido trying to piece together the background of the murderer of the young girl on the mountain.
Deon Meyer has excelled in this latest book featuring all my favourite heroes. I listened to the audiobook. The characters come to life and the narrator; Peter Noble did an excellent job of ensuring that each character had their own special voice.

PS: I leave with a question for you dear readers; do you think Benny makes it to his wedding on time?

This book has kept me engaged from the first line. The story kept on twisting and turning you never knew what was coming next.

Fantastic story line, keeps you wanting more.

Deon Meyer never lets the reader down. Pace, action, plot and writing skill are always good and this is one of his better ones. Definitely worth reading. My only criticism is that it felt a bit unfinished. Presumably there will be a sequel.

As good as ever

Performance brought the South African background to life.. the story was entertaining and exciting and dealt with State Capture in an up to date way .

Excitement in South Africa

The story line was great, as expected. The narrator is great when doing voices and accents. He just has a terrible whining wat of telling the story. I really missed Saul Reichlin.

Terrible narrator.

This started out in the usual way, with Deon Meyer telling two completely unrelated stories that gradually circle toward each other with an edge-of-your seat climax. Absolutely loved this book!!

Edge-of-your-seat climax!

Deon Meyer is a master story teller, and the translation and narration is top notch.

Great story, exciting to the end
