A review by jimmypat
A German Requiem by Philip Kerr

4.0

This was probably the most complex Bernie Gunther novel in the original "Berlin Noir" trilogy - it almost veered completely into the espionage genre, but luckily had enough of the hard-boiled noir that the previous books had. The final few scenes in this book really put it over the top for me - both connecting it directly with the previous novels, but also just having an exciting finale. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series which was written almost 30 years after this one...
