Another great read from Robert Harris

Mostly enjoyable, but it started to drag in the second half.
Though the final 100 pages were engrossing again.
Maybe it was just too long a story, but well worth the read

Daunting and chilling

This is the second book of Robert Harris’ that I have read, the first one being 'An Officer and a Spy'. While the latter book shows Harris’s maturity as a writer, this, his first book, is a slow-starter with an excellent climax. An excellent premise for a book - an exploration of the German Reich’s barbaric history through the eyes of a people ignorant of the truth in 1964 - and the convincing character of the protagonist, a Detective in the SS who stumbles onto a murder case he should never have investigated, lead to an ending both thrilling and appalling. Now to read another of his books!

Brilliant

I've always enjoyed Harris' work. This one never disappoints. It does drag slightly towards the end, but the characters are believable and the setting is frightening. Give it a go before dismissing it.
