Germania: A Novel of Nazi Berlin by Harald Gilbers
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a decent murder mystery, set against the backdrop of Nazi Germany. Not only did I enjoy the main plot and characters, I also thought it did a great job showing what a burden Oppenheimer, a Jewish former inspector, felt working with the SS to solve a case. He knew solving it probably meant his own death; yet he couldn't allow others to perish.
This was a translation of a German book and I thought it was very well translated. I would be interested in reading more of the series. This book felt a lot longer than the page count indicates, just as a heads up.
Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for an ARC.
