Changes

As you might expect from a gritty, crime novel there's lot of violence, blood and broken bodies. But the difference here is that it's not gratuitous - everything has a place this book so that I was fine with the violence element (well, as fine as you can be). To keep the pot bubbling, there's also plenty of street-savvy and coarse language which gives an extra level. In summary, Smith (who himself lives in Cape Town) gives his readers a frightening taste of the area the tourists don't see. If 'gritty' is your middle name, then this book will probably tick all the boxes. Recommended.
