A Man Without Breath by Philip Kerr

3.0

I've never read any of the other Bernie Gunther novels, but this one sounded good and I won a copy through the Goodreads First Reads program. The opening was excellent and so was the first half. It was palpably chilling and I turned the pages like there was no tomorrow. The second half of the book was still very good, but there were a few aspects that caused the story to drag and tonal not quite match up with the first half. The ending seemed to come much too quickly as well, if you read it you'll see what I mean.
