Yeah, I know. It's off-topic, but I remember an earlier thread about mystery/detective novels. Just wanted to put in a recommendation of this book, actually three books; it's a three books in one volume edition. I've only finished the first two and found them very good. Kerr's writing is vivid, filled with clever descriptive phrases in the hard-boiled tradition. Think Sam Spade in Nazi Germany.
Follow Ups:
I found a second-hand copy of this earlier in the year and loved it! I had just finished reading a Raymond Chandler anthology and this was the perfect compliment! I lent it to my wife who had to stop at the second book to research the orgins and development of the SS and its related branches (once she has a question - she Really works to answer it)Glad you liked it, have you tried any of his other works? I have not and would be interested in feedback.
e-mail me if you get a chance since this isn't really the place for this thread.
The sole other book by Kerr that I've read is "Esau" which was thoroughly unimpressive. It was only the premise of "Berlin Noir" that prompted me to give him another try. I really enjoy mystery/detective fiction and really enjoy Nazi era stuff, so I figured "Berlin Noir" was worth a try. Recently rented "Forbidden", a film based on a true story about a German countess(Jacqueline Bisset in the lead role) involved in the underground, and rewatched "Where Eagles Dare". I like Chandler, have read all his books, and think I've seen all the films based on them. I wish someone would make "Berlin Noir" into a film. Properly done, that could be excellent. Guess I'm back on topic afterall. ;-)
