reviewed Berlin noir by Philip Kerr (Penguin crime/mystery)

Review of 'Berlin noir' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Absolutely brilliant trio of mystery / thrillers, starring the downtrodden, cynical yet believable Bernie Gunther. In a Zelig kind of way, he runs into many of the evil lunatics behind the Third Reich, in the years before World War 2. The feeling of being in Berlin before the war is palpable and the thrills just keep coming. You are guessing right up until the end. A Must Read!
