Description
A thrilling story of wealth, power and the true cost of ‘having it all’. Because sometimes the price of the perfect life…is death.
In cosmopolitan Johannesburg, three high-flying couples form the core of the elite Khula Society: part investment group, part social club, with meetings where the champagne flows, the dresses are designer and the one-upmanship is off the scale. Noma, Moshidi, Lerato and their husbands are living the dream—or so it appears from the outside.
In reality, the cut and thrust of ‘keeping up with the Khulas’ is taking its toll on all three couples. Behind the facade of their ocean-front mansions, Italian supercars and lavishly catered receptions lies a tangle of explosive secrets—and deadly consequences. But as long as every member toes the line, plays the role they’re here to play, the dark truth remains crushed beneath the heels of so many Louboutins…
That is until, in her bid to have it all and more, one of these rich and powerful women oversteps the mark—with someone else’s man. The group soon comes to learn that you can’t have it all without paying the ultimate price…
Revised edition: Previously published as Critical But, Stable, this edition of Critical But Stable includes editorial revisions.

Oh my goodness what a book this was to read.
This was such a gripping book to read, it had me on the edge of my seat many times and had my mind working over time trying to work it all out.

An excellent book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
My first time reading a story written by Makholwa. Which I'll definitely be reading more of her work in the future.

This was such a brilliant book like alot of reviewers I found I couldn’t put it down. It had me gripped lol the way through. I loved the fact it was set in Johannesburg for a change and not, as so many books are in the States so, it made a change. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

A good read with good characters. 4*.

I expected more of a thriller story based on the description but there was never really a portion that could be described as a whodunit. Somewhat predictable. I wish that the glossary of South African terms were set up as footnotes so I didn’t have to wait til the end to figure out what the words meant. But it was interesting to learn more about the South African culture and how things work there.

I was expecting more of a thriller, but I still really enjoyed this book. It helped me from the beginning and I couldn't put it down!
Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
