Night In London (Night Series) Paperback – April 18, 2017

Really enjoyed this. Gritty and realistic, this story underlines the desperation, inhumanity and violence present not only in SA but throughout the world.

This was an excellent follow up to the first book. Although most of the action takes place in SA, it was worth the cost of my purchase to read the continuing saga of Night and his crew. I found both books a fascinating peek into the post apartheid world was like. And the events seem to correlate with press coverage over the years. The use of language and sentence structure take some getting used to relative to the SA dialogue, but it makes the reading more interesting. It is one of the reasons I like reading foreign books/stories. Only hope Christie writes another in the series and it does not take 5 years. They certainly read like there is personal experience at play. Worth the time to read both books.

The book was fine but t h e content was not "Night in London' Good guys win again as always. .

It was not as fast moving as the previous book, but was still great as a thriller.

Great twists and turns but the ending was a bit abrupt. I will however read more of this author as Night is a great character.

I had already read the first book and had to find out how Michael Night and his team did. This book did not disappoint and yes, it may take time to get used to some of the terms, but I'm just upset that there is no third book, as I want to find out how he does when he returns to Africa.

This book and the one previously were well written. There doesn't seem to be a third book and no mention of one. So, three stars!! Don't waste your readers time.

Interesting background in south Africa great humor and constantly something going on. Can't wait to read the next one to hear about wamba

Michael Night and his police squadron teammates, Daniel Shaka (aka Zulu), Kalahari and General Amos Arosi’s bodyguard, Tony Tshabalala, had been sent to Umhlanga Rocks, Kwa-Zulu Natal, for some well-earned rest and recuperation after their last mission. Unfortunately, these few days of rest are interrupted when Tony gets a call from Amos Arosi asking that they return immediately. Arosi had arrived at the home where his ex-wife and twin daughters lived, to find them tied up. The gang had broken into the home days earlier, holding his wife and children hostage knowing that he would arrive at some stage. They were hoping that Arosi, on seeing his wife and young daughters raped, would disclose where the Gaddafi millions had been secured. Arosi was able with the help of the local police to thwart this crime. However, it becomes evident that the English man they know to be behind this plan to steal the money is not going to give up easily. Arosi and his team (better known as the Black Bastards) must find him and finally destroy him before more lives are lost.The camaraderie among the group is everything as without this they would not be able to operate at such a level of efficiency. This bond shines through the book, e.g. Zulu desperate to save Michael Night’s beautiful dog Wamba after he’d been poisoned. He insists and in fact makes Michael “kidnap” his dog from the veterinarian who has been looking after him, as he is adamant that only his own Zulu “muti” will restore him to full strength once again.There are some ferocious crime scenes, mainly the cash in transit robberies, the gang rape of a young girl and the subsequent “kangaroo court” justice for two of her attackers, so reading the book will give you some idea of what the South African police must face every day as they go out on patrol. What the book highlights are the dedication of the police and that they are trying to restore order.Casey Christie knows how to keep his readers happy. There’s a lot of action, but there’s also a lot of humour. Some of the scenes, especially those with one of the trainee constables, had me laughing very loudly. There are also some very sad scenes. Unfortunately, you can’t be part of this police force and making enemies without serious consequences.If you want to know about how camaraderie works among dedicated police, then this is the book to read. Scrap that, if you want a really good book to read, then get this!TreebeardBreakaway Reviewers purchased a copy of the book to review

First two books have set up the story line perfectly and I can not wait to read the next book

I borrowed this book but I enjoyed it so much, I had to buy it so I can read it again on holiday. The story, like the first Night book, draws you in. I had to carry on reading to see what happened next. Personally I was glad that the Boerboel Dog was in this book again. Along with other Dogs, a sweet girlfriend for Wamba ,Nandi. A very fierce guard Dinsiswayo and his brother Gwala. The character development for humans and canines is very good. The writer makes you care what happens to them. Much of the story is set in South Africa, given the title, I thought it would be set mainly in London. Night is the main character but I also liked the other characters, Shaka especially. This book is aimed at an over 15 reader. The violence is needed for the plot and not just placed there for the sake of it. There is much I would like to say about the book but it would spoil it for people who have not read the second Night story. I would and indeed will recommend this book to others. If you have not read the first Night then that is a must to fully enjoy this sequel.. It is well written. Starts quickly. Ends yet again on a cliffhanger. Lets hope there will be a third book.
