A review by whatmeworry
SS-GB by Len Deighton

4.0

This is a book that I'd wanted to read since I saw it on my dad's bookshelf as a kid. The central concept (Britain loses the Battle of Britain and is occupied by the Nazis) is immediately appealing and Deighton tales great pains to portray it convincingly. Against this backdrop he tells a gripping tale about a murder investigation led by the hero, an English police defective. It was pretty much everything you could want from a thriller, lots of action and intrigue and a twisting plot that only fully reveals itself in the final pages.
