Oh no! Satire, dark, funny, South Africa -- can't pass this one up. Deon Meyer's Benny Griessel series enamored me with South African police stories. But it will have to get in line although it's moving to the front. Thanks, Tom.
Currently reading The Rebels of Ireland by Edward Rutherford, having enjoyed The Princes of Ireland earlier in the month. Also listening to the excellent Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs, but for that I need a box of tissue and a private place so as not to cry in public.
