Man's inhumanity to man...Intense!

Revisado: 10-07-16

Where does A Beautiful Place to Die rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Loved this book! I love well-written, well-narrated mysteries.. (I usually choose British narrators- love their accents!) This book ranks at the top of my list of favorites.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Beautiful Place to Die?

The ending!

Have you listened to any of Saul Reichlin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Loved his narration... his deep at times gravelly voice suited the gritty subject matter...loved his dexterity switching between the different accents.Will check for other books he's narrated on Audible.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Man's inhumanity to man is so intensely and darkly portrayed in this murder mystery that, at times, I had to switch between it and the lighter, humorous, Open and Shut, by David Rosenfelt!

Any additional comments?

Set in South Africa during Apartheid, Detective Emmanuel Cooper maintains his integrity and the investigation, under extreme duress,both physical and emotional, from the Afrikaner security police. Hat's off and a bow of respect to author Malla Nunn for this passionately written, suspenseful, mystery. Emmanuel Cooper walks the tightrope above a land awash in corruption, racism and brutality, gaining respect and ultimately salvation. Can't wait to read the next Detective Emmanuel Cooper mystery!
