A German Requiem
A German Requiem: A Bernie Gunther Novel | Philip Kerr
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
The disturbing climax to the Berlin Noir trilogy Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther novels have won him an international reputation as a master of historical suspense. In A German Requiem, the private eye has survived the collapse of the Third Reich to find himself in Vienna. Amid decaying imperial splendor, he traces concentric circles of evil and uncovers a legacy that makes the wartime atrocities seem lily-white in comparison.

Another one in which a naked woman dies a gruesome death for set-dressing. I‘m all set with these books, don‘t need to keep reading them.

Starting the third one of the Berlin Noir trilogy...or at least they are called that, but it really seems like it‘s just the first 3 books in a sleuth series.

The third in Philip Kerr's BERNIE GUNTHER SERIES is a complex historical thriller that effectively draws on the psychological, physical and political effects of World War II on victors and losers alike and the dubious alliances that came about during the first sparks of the Cold War but the female characters are thinly characterised (and almost all prostitutes) and I didn't believe in Gunther's new Catholic faith.
