Ok... where do I start. For some unfathomable reason I've never read anything by Rory Clements before. But this is definitely not going to be my last.
This is so totally my kind of book. Historical novels, particularly ones set in/around World War 2, especially in "The Third Reich" are my absolute favourite books. And Munich Wolf did not disappoint.
Rory really captured how I have always thought it would have been to live in those tumultuous times. Sebastian Wolff may have been a police inspector, but even that didn't mean he was safe from Nazi persecution. In fact the local police force had next to no power when compared to the Gestapo and SS officers.
Tasked with investigating the murder of a young British woman, Sebastian is up against the clock as he knows the accused man isn't guilty of anything more than being Jewish. But it's clear that Munich's elite want him framed anyway.
I can't imagine how hard it must have been to seek justice in such an injust world. Rory really knows how to weave a good story, whilst maintaining historical accuracy.
