Not sure if 'charming' is the best word to use for a thriller, but this book is quite charming. The author paints 1930s Vienna so vividly, reading this book is like watching a movie. Part of the brilliant Pushkin Vertigo series, this book, with its very noir feel, is intriguing, fast, and a strange kind of fun.
