Loved the setting and atmosphere of this novel. The idea of what if Hitler won has been done before, and done better, but this was a decent telling. I wish the world was flushed out and we saw more of Germany, and even the rest of the world and how they perceived Germany. The police procedural was done decent as well. The ending was bittersweet, and I blasted through the final quarter without putting it down. I did enjoy it enough to pick up another book in the future if I see it.
