The Chanteuse from Cape Town By John Constable

The Chanteuse from Cape Town By John Constable


This gripping tale of intrigue and betrayal takes readers on a breakneck journey as Private Investigator Sol Nemo takes on South Africa’s underworld.

When rich but troubled PI, Sol Nemo, learns of the kidnap of his friend’s wife, he instinctively responds to the call for help. Little does he realise that he is soon to become embroiled in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. At a botched exchange, Sol is shot and the kidnappers escape, leading to a dramatic game of cat and mouse in which a world of corruption and casual violence is gradually exposed to the light of day.

This intriguing tale of murder and revenge is set against the backdrop of South Africa’s breathtaking landscapes and the vibrant cities of Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. As the story unfolds, Sol is forced to wrestle with bouts of crippling anxiety, a cast of duplicitous characters, and an uncertain love life, while his mixed race heritage often leaves him straddling two different cultures and finding himself at home in neither.

My Thoughts:

I love reading books that are set somewhere completely different especially places like South Africa where I would love to visit one day. This is a crime fiction read that is set in South Africa with a very intriguing main character called Sol Nemo. I like how fast paced and involved I felt in this read, I liked how the story unfolded with a few turns. I liked getting to know Sol Nemo and I hope to see more of him in the future. I loved reading about the descriptions of such a beautiful place too.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
