We liked this book, but because it was over 400 pages and we started it in December, we felt that we would allow our members 2 months to read this (over the holidays). We met and discussed it on January 29th 2017. We found it interesting to learn more about the unrest and military history of South Africa, while being involved in the main character's struggles to solve a heinous crime in the modern world, and at the same time understand the terrible crimes committed prior. All in all we deemed it a good read. (I loved It!)
