About this listen
A housewife running from years of domestic abuse. A bodyguard hired to escort a smuggled rhinoceros. A group of Islamic terrorists based in a quiet residential street. A secret government agency threatened with amalgamation within a bigger department. A retired policeman trying to get used to his new career in the private sector. Each of these strands of a brilliant narrative is populated with superbly-drawn characters, and woven into a stunningly exciting drama by the undisputed king of South African suspense fiction. Not only a heart-pounding thriller, but also a love story and a fabulous kaleidoscopic picture of South African society, this is the finest novel yet from an author whose reputation is growing all around the world.
©2011 Deon Meyer (P)2011 Hodder & StoughtonLemmer who must guard a truck transporting black Rhino from Zimbabwe to a farm near Loxton.
A housewife escapes an abusive marriage. She finds work as a journalist within the Secret Services directly under the President of South Africa. They need to find out what is happening in the world of Islamic terrorism that is threatening South Africa.
Mat Joubert has retired from the police force after years of service and is now working as a private detective. His first client is a woman desperately trying to find her husband who disappeared without trace.
How can these three stories have anything to do with each other? Thanks to Deon Meyer's exceptional writing you will discover that they are linked through some strange coincidences.
A brilliant storyline. Unfortunately, my gripe is with the narrators Rupert Degas and Sandra Duncan. It never ceases to amaze me when books with South African characters are narrated by non-South African speakers. They can try as hard as they like to get their voices to sound like a true South African accent, but all fail miserably. Saul Reichlin on the other hand, is the perfect narrator as he can copy allSouth African accents.
A convoluted storyline.

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I suppose if you are heavily into South African politics society it might have more meaning for you.What could Deon Meyer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The threads needed to interconnect more and have some sort of resolution rather that just hanging.Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favourite?
I had no favourite, I could not get attached to them before the narrative moved on. I particularly disliked the multi-voice sections which were jarring. This should have been a plain reading rather than a cross between dramatisation and audiobook.If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Trackers?
Everything that did not have any bearing on anything else, i.e. most of the book.Any additional comments?
I kept listening, expecting all the threads to be drawn together in some clever way but they were just left dangling which was most upsetting.A bit of a mess

Unfortunately, the end was a damp squib with only a very marginal effort to inter-twine the individual stories and hence my overall rating. I am currently reading another of his books but this one was just under-cooked.
