4 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
When a cold case dossier lands on Captain Benny Griessels desk, he and his partner Vaughn Cupido, fellow member of the Hawks elite police unit in South Africa, reluctantly set to work reviewing the evidence of the disappearanceand possible murderof ex-cop Johnson Johnson on the worlds most luxurious train line. Two fellow travelers might have the answers Griessel and Cupido needbut they too seem to have disappeared into thin air, and the few clues that exist suggest a cover-up. Meanwhile, Daniel Darret has settled into a new, quiet life in Bordeaux, far from his native South Africa and his revolutionary past. But when a man from that past reappears to commission his unique skills one more time, Daniel is forced to decide whether to remain anonymous or to strike a forceful blow against a corrupt government. The two storylines eventually crash together in an ending as dramatic as it is unexpected, leaving Griessel and Cupido uncertain of their own future. With its rapid-fire plotting and beloved characters, The Last Hunt shows one of todays great crime writers operating at the peak of his powers and makes a brave and powerful statement about the pervasive corruption that has stolen so much from Meyers native country.

This is a slow burn police procedural mystery. Set both in South Africa and France, it follows an elite South African Police force as they investigate a mysterious body thrown from a train death, and a mysterious assassin laying low in France. This did drag a bit for me as it is long at almost 400 pages. If you are a fan of this series, this should appeal to you. Otherwise this may be hard to get into at book 6.

It's been a good long while since I read a book in two days! Absolutely masterfully making use of more or less current South African politics (state capture, the Guptas), alternating settings, excellent pacing... There is a reason Deon Meyer is as successful and popular as he is. The English - The Last Hunt - is in local bookstores now and probably in ebook form. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good morning from Windhoek! Slept badly and up early (because 3-year-old) but my Overdrive hold came in yesterday and I'm drinking coffee and reading, so how bad can it be?

Due to the exorbitant price, my sister and I gave up on buying this one and I was happy to find I could get it through Overdrive. Can whoever is reading it just hurry the hell up now! I've been waiting so long 😂
