Get your thrill on with this excellent selection of 2009 spinetinglers by krimi fundi Mike Nicol. The list is proudly South African and offers plenty to keep you up at night – from Jassy Mackenzie’s My Brother’s Keeper, to Deon Meyer’s Blood Safari and Margie Orford’s Daddy’s Girl. (And let’s not forget to mention Nicol’s own books, Payback and – with Joanne Hichens – Out to Score.)
December with its heat and holidays is one of those wind-down months when nothing much happens except mornings at the beach, long lunches and long glasses of wine. Not for nothing is my city below the mountain nicknamed Grape Town. So at the beginning of 2010 crime fiction news from the bottom of Africa is more a wrap of 2009 than an anticipation of the new year. I’m sure we’ll catch up with the rest of the world one day, but probably not till the end of the month. That’s Africa time for you.
