Since it was 6 years ago that I read the Berlin Trilogy, I don't remember much of the plot and I want to go back and re-read them. But there is not enough time to do that and keep up with reading the ones new authors, new series, series I want to finish, etc.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-14022015352045270052012-09-16T15:35:27.931-07:002012-09-16T15:35:27.931-07:00Tracy - I'm so sorry it's taken me such a ...Tracy - I'm so sorry it's taken me such a long time to visit your post :-(. You've picked a really talented author too. I happen to like Philip Kerr's work and his Bernie Gunther is a great character. In fact you've reminded me that I must put one of his novels in the spotlight, so thanks.

And difficult to read. But I am trying to understand the problems of that time and how it happened. I am trying to read a non-fiction book on that subject (Richard Evan's The Coming of the Third Reich)but it is comparatively dry and very long.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-33505537763282976782012-09-16T06:05:54.276-07:002012-09-16T06:05:54.276-07:00These sound really interesting.

Under the guise of Nazi bashing, there is a demonisation of ordinary Germans which I do not like. But the Inspector's reflections have made me want to pick this up.neerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986509319841061021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-24680950172799539602012-09-14T12:34:18.342-07:002012-09-14T12:34:18.342-07:00I try to ignore new reviews if I can so as not to ...I try to ignore new reviews if I can so as not to be influenced, and this time I haven't even seen any.
