Novena entretenida. Lo mejor es la ambientación en la Alemania nazi previa a la segunda guerra mundial. Me cuesta empatizar con el personaje de Gunther y quizás por eso no termino de disfrutar más con estas novelas.

I liked this book, but it was a lot like the first one "March Violets". Bernie Gunther remains a great viewpoint character though.

I have read several of the Bernie Gunther series and decided to return to the beginning. Found this one to be enjoyable as well. Bernie solves crimes with wit and intelligence and somehow manages to remain human during and in spite of the Nazi regime.
