Sorry by Zoran Drvenkar (Blue Door)
After a few bottles of wine one evening, four friends (Kris, Tamara, Wolf and Frauke) stumble upon an innovative business idea: an agency called "Sorry".
The friends decide to offer a service where they will apologise to people who have been treated unfairly on behalf of those who wronged them. Surprisingly, their company becomes an instant sensation but just when the friends are celebrating their success, things take a turn for the worse.
They unknowingly accept an assignment from a client who is bent on vengeance. Before they know it, our four protagonists are cleaning up after a serial killer and getting swept up into murkier dealings than they had ever expected.
I’m an avid chicklit fan, but I figured why not try reading a different genre? Plus, I found the book's simple white cover interesting.
"Sorry" kicks off with a brutal murder written from the serial killers perspective, which sets the sinister tone for the rest of the novel.
Thereafter, the pace slows down and builds up towards its climax gradually. At times the story feels like its lagging but once it has captured your attention, this novel will keep you intrigued until the last page.
In some chapters, Drvenkar's writing is bogged down with unnecessary details, so it will take a couple of chapters before you are familiar and comfortable with each of the protagonists. Once you have them clear in your mind however, the whodunit will keep you guessing and eager to understand the serial killer's psyche.
Be warned: Dzvenkar really doesn’t hold anything back. One graphic child molestation scene springs to mind; it made me feel nauseous actually.
The most enjoyable aspect of "Sorry" is the plot which has some delicious, astonishing twists. A well-written, scintillating tale for thrill-seekers.
