A Small Death In Lisbon by Robert Wilson
3.0
“We are all mad, Inspector, for the simple reason that we don’t know why we exist and this...this life is how we distract ourselves so that we don’t have to think about things too difficult for us to comprehend”.
That quote (from the book) pretty much sums up how I felt about the book. The first half of the book was relatively easy to follow. It was interesting to read about the Nazis and the Allies vying for the tungsten steel of Portugal during WWII. But the second half where the more current day murder is investigated started getting so confusing with ALL the characters. Good thing I read it on my Kindle so I could search the book to find when someone was introduced.
The resolution is very tidy but very complex. If you read this book I suggest you keep track of all the characters in a workflow diagram. You’ll thank me for it.
