I had a curious experience: was reading book reviews in a French magazine and discoverd great polar/dective written by a Dutch author! Sometimes I miss the books written in my own country! Eva Marie Staal is here name and her book ( 2007, Try the Morgue) has just been translated to English.

There were lively discussions at both blogs, and it got quite involved at the latter website, and Mrs. P. revealed that the book unleashed a discussion inside Germany about the criminal justice system and WWII. <br /><br />An interesting point about the author, a defense attorney, is that he discusses his grandfather, who was an unrepentant war criminal, who served time in prison and was unrepentant upon his release. That's a brutal family history to live with, and it's one that this author is vehemently opposed to.<br /><br />I hope everyone interested in not only legal mysteries, but international human rights and fairness, as well as repercussions of WWII, reads this book. It packs quite a punch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-37498654576066747442014-06-19T18:26:25.444-07:002014-06-19T18:26:25.444-07:00Thanks, Margot.
