Goldstein: A Gereon Rath Mystery by Volker Kutscher

And another good entry in the Gereon Rath series. Difficult to write about them, they are not amazing, just decent, good entertainment. The setting from 1929 onward is quite interesting, because we see the fall of the Weimar republic and the rise of the Nazis. This one ends with, unrelated to the general story, some unrest caused by the SA. Gereon is not fond of them and it will be interesting to see how that goes.

A slightly more convoluted plot but similarly entertaining. Watch the series!

Hat mir leider deutlich schlechter gefallen als #1, #2 und #5: ziemlich lahmer Start und die Story war auch nicht so meins. Und irgendwie bleiben einige Handlungsstränge offen, mal gucken ob die in #4 aufgegriffen werden...
