Blood Rose by Margie Orford – first published 2010
This was the only novel I could find set in Namibia. I wanted to read The Sheltering Desert by Henno Martin but my local library service didn’t have a copy in stock. South African investigator Clare Hart is sent to Namibia to profile a serial killer of teenage boys in the isolated and depressing port of Walvis Bay. She works with local detective Tamar Damases and gradually comes to realise that the case is much bigger than they thought and that their lives are in danger. This book won’t do much for the tourist industry in Walvis Bay but it is an above average crime novel 7/10
