I have been listening to the audio version of Deon Meyer's
Devil's Peak on YouTube for the last couple of days. Meyer is a popular South African detective novel writer.
Devil's Peak is definitely worth listening to. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but Meyer does a fantastic job of developing his characters. The novel revolves around three main characters and Meyer manages to balance the intertwining narratives quite skillfully which is not something that is easy to do. It also deals with the problems of crime and justice in post-apartheid South Africa in a nuanced and sophisticated manner.
