Deon Meyer

Today is the 4th of July and this means a very special day. I don't know if any of you noticed. Anyone? Okay, the title of this post gave it away (otherwise you wouldn't have guessed I'm sure): it is the birthday of South African crime writer Deon Meyer. He wrote some of my favourite crime fiction novels and I cannot think of a single book I have read of him (so far) where I have been disappointed or even underwhelmed. Not only are his books entertaining, they manage to remain intelligent and plausible at the same time. Meyer made me discover a completely new culture of crime fiction and I wanted to wish him happy birthday on this blog. So here it is, happy birthday maestro.

Lequel de ses romans conseillerais-tu à quelqu'un qui souhaite le découvrir?

@Prof-Il y a tellement de choix! Comme il écrit ses romans dans le même univers et en ordre chronologique commence avec un de ses premiers je dirais. Dead at Daybreak a été mon premier. Heart of the Hunter est aussi très fort. Ou sinon Blood Safari qui est plus tardif mais est le début du cycle Lemmer.

@Debra-I thought you'd find it obscure.
