About this listen

World War II is over, and former German intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt has returned to Berlin, having been hired back onto Berlin's police force. When a man is found slain, Reinhardt embarks on a gruesome investigation. It seems a serial killer is on the loose, and matters only escalate when it's discovered that one of the victims was the brother of a Nazi scientist. Reinhardt realises that this investigation could cost him everything as he pursues a killer who believes that all wrongs must be avenged.

Critic reviews

Praise for The Pale House, book two of the series: "[A] well-executed sequel." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A multi-layered tale of war, political upheaval and fragile hope." ( Kirkus Reviews)
All stars
Most relevant
Great plot, well read, pity that the other books in the series not available. Normally I think where and when a book is set is not relevant, but this really works with a Berlin backdrop. Author has clearly done his research. Plot is excellent, reminds me a bit of Boris Akunin

detective story based in post WW2 Berlin

This book follows Gregor as he returns to Berlin immediately following the end of the War. Luke brings this period to life vividly, with empathy for those caught up in the struggle for survival. Weaving a brilliant "who done it" mystery into the lives of Germany's people, the Allied victors & the Berlin Police.

Third Book In The Series And Still Excellent.

I have enjoyed both books that are available on audio. The plot develops slowly but you are well entertained along the way. As the plot thickens and grows more complex it becomes edge of seat listening. The atmosphere of post war Berlin adds to the drama with some great characterisation. The choice of narrator for this is excellent. I really enjoyed this. A pity there are only 3 books in the series.

Excellent story and narration. The whole trilogy is well worth a listen or a read.

I really enjoyed this book, the storyline which was rich and complex, the characters who were real and believable and finally how people lived/survived in Berlin just after the second world war.
