I just finished reading, “Theft from Delos” and “The Priest and the Gondolier.” I enjoyed both novels immensely. The author brings his characters to life in such a way that they are not only realistic but also memorable. His description of Venice and the Greek Islands made me feel as if I was there. The setting and background to his novel are meticulously researched and his plots contain many twists and unpredicted turns. I look forward to reading more from Mervyn Nel.
Recently I had a 10-hour layover at the Zürich airport. The wintery weather ruined my plans of a visit to the city. Thankfully, I had just bought Mervyn Nel's latest novel in South Africa. This page-turner (like his first novel "Theft from Delos") not only kept me occupied...it engrossed me up to the last surprise-filled chapter!
Although the story-line is quite different from his first novel (despite both revolving around daring heists), it shares the author's signature style of strongly appealing to both the intellect as well as the senses. It is evident that he does meticulous research on all of the settings in his books, so that were you to actually visit Venice (or Delos and the surrounding islands) you would most likely experience a strange sense of déjà vu!
The sensory nature of his books makes them feel/look/smell/sound more like vivid movies. I am convinced that both his books are begging to be turned into fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat motion pictures.
The characters in "The Priest and the Gondolier" leap from the pages of the novel. You definitely feel you want to avoid the "bad guys" in a dark alley! More importantly, the protagonists all have their own unique qualities and charms (my favourite is Chief Superintendent Gina Rossi) and deserve even more elaboration...I think the "The Priest and the Gondolier" most certainly deserves a sequel that will allow Gina Rossi and Harry Wilson (an Interpol art expert) to unravel and resolve a number of very promising sub-plots!

I am delighted with my purchase and the service was great.
I was so looking forward to start using this journal
But i am truly disappointed
Its not like was expecting
Its just the same 2 pages over and over in the book.
No daily qoutes or anything
Just the 2 pages with breathing and feeling exercises
I was quite surpised at the prompt service from Exclusive books. The books from this author are exactly what I require and the complete guide far exceeds my expectations. Thank you very much
Funny, tearful, inspiring. You can get it all!!!
I am studying Zulu on the Duolingo platform and hoped this Zulu-English Dictionary would be a helpful resource to improve my Zulu vocabulary. Unfortunately not. Such a rich language cannot be captured in an alphabetical list of 30 x A5-pages. It is merely an introduction to isiZulu vocabulary. Maybe this was a university assignment. I can hardly use this dictionary version as a reference during my lessons. The Phrasebook is interesting and well arranged for specific topics.
