Recensioner i media

I really enjoyed DEAD BEFORE DYING. I liked the complexity of the main character, the interactions between the detectives, and their dogged determination to find both the robber and the serial murderer . . . A sad, tense denouement ends the book, with an unexpected twist. I'd highly recommend this book. I've enjoyed all the Deon Meyer books I've read so far, and this one is no exception.

4/5
Meyers debutroman imponerar
Deon Meyer har snabbt intagit en plats bland mina absoluta favoriter när det gäller kriminalromaner. Hans fyra huvudpersoner som han omväxlande låter inta huvudrollen tar man snabbt till sitt hjärta trots deras brister och tillkortakommanden. Den Sydafrikanska miljön är ytterligare en plusfaktor. Denna hans första kriminalroman kan väl mäta sig med hans övriga. Två parallella utredningar som man får följa med tilltagande intresse och som i det ena fallet leder till ett överraskande slut, vilket inte är oväntat när det gäller den här typen av romaner. Märkligt att "Dead before dying" inte översatts till svenska!
