A review by thereclamationproject
A Trace of Smoke by Rebecca Cantrell

3.0

I haven't read a book that was set in the inter-war years in Germany in a long while. This book made me think of W.H. Auden, Stephen Spender, and Christopher Isherwood and their cabaret adventures in the 20's and 30's. I think someone should begin a new series featuring them as amateur sleuths.

After reading Cantrell's novel, I may have to begin reading Alan Furst and Philip Kerr again. In the meantime, I am going to finally start Erik Larson's In the Garden of Beasts that's been sitting on my bookshelf for far too long.
