Summary

 'One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written' LEE CHILD

Bernie Gunther has learned the hard way that there's no way to distinguish 'the one from the other'. The cynical P.I. sees through the deceit and hypocrisy of both friend and foe - a lifesaving skill in postwar Germany.

Munich, 1949 is home to all the backstabbing intrigue that prospers in the aftermath of war. A place where a private eye can find a lot of not-quite-reputable work: cleaning up the Nazi past of well-to-do locals, abetting fugitives in the flight abroad, sorting out rival claims to stolen goods. It's work that fills Bernie with disgust - but it also fills his sorely depleted wallet. Then a woman seeks him out. Her husband has disappeared. She's not looking to get him back - he's a wanted man who ran one of the most vicious concentration camps in Poland. She just wants confirmation that he's dead.

It's a simple enough job. But in post-war Germany, nothing is simple...

The plot is excellent. I tend to sit back and let a pkot unfold, trying not to guess what could happen next, and this works really well with Bernie Gunter novels.

The narration is great with you, some well delivered accents. You can just imagine how the characters are in postwar Germany – exhausted, cynical, and desperate to cling onto the smallest decency in life in.

Bernie himself is to me superb. I love his descriptions, analogies, and and sarcasm, and this is the only book that has made me stop and reflect on some of the show rather than tell tricks.

If the author also carries the sadness of postwar Germany, well. I’ve come to these books, a little late and there are a few to read to catch up. I have a feeling I’ll be buying them back to back.

Great story with wonderful delivery and narration.

Great plot, storyline and the narrator is brilliant - having access to audio books elsewhere makes me appreciate just how much the voice that reads the story adds to the characters and ambience - fits Herr Gunther very well!

Another excellent thriller

An amazing book which taught me even more about this time period . Very well researched details wrapped up in an intriguing thriller.

Worth app stars!

Ok, it became quite obvious what he’d got himself into, but how was he going to get out of it - that was nice!
