Blessed Are the Dead: An Emmanuel Cooper Mystery
“Historical hindsight may make readers a bit more self-congratulatory about recognizing the evils of apartheid, but it won’t help them see around the curves Nunn has plotted or rise above her insight into the enduring dilemmas of her separate-and-unequal world.”—Kirkus Reviews“A disturbing book with a morally compelling hero.”—Booklist“Gripping and thoughtful . . . Nunn brilliantly combines character and fair play clues.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review“An engrossing and compelling read . . . saturated with the feel of 1950s South Africa.” —Mike Nicol, author of theRevengetrilogy“The suspense is irresistible, and the mystery sustains itself well. This is a wonderfully effective addition to Nunn’s already masterful series of novels. A highly recommended novel.”—Historical Novel Society
