THE DARK FLOOD Benny Griessel, Book 8

Narrator Saul Reichlin stays calm, but listeners will get caught up in the chaos that starts and ends this audiobook. The mystery--concerning the connection between a missing computer hacker and a realtor's big deal--takes awhile to unfold, but that's to allow for character development. The South African accents are fully comprehensible as Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido, two top cops, are demoted after a case goes wrong. Reichlin's even tone helps hit home the frustration and drudgery of their investigation, and he captures the suspenseful and ironic moments later on. Listeners will find themselves absorbed by the South African police corruption and chance events that are depicted in this procedural. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
