Really enjoyed this, although it was maybe a tad too easy, and it had tiny slips like making the Columbian character think little Spanish snippets. *sigh* Now I know what Russian readers must think when I read Russian characters who delightfully and exotically sprinkle some russian words into their dialogue.

But all in all definitely very good and entertaining, with wonderful characters all round, some excellent dialogue and a sweeping canvas of a city (any city but also specifically Berlin) by night. You'l like it if one of the things you love about cities is how dirty they are. You will also like it if you are upset about the gig economy and capitalism. You don't need to be a night owl to like it.
