A review by sci_mom
Shadows of Berlin by David R. Gillham

3.0

I received this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. This book couldn't really decide if it wanted to be literary fiction or a mystery. The relationships between both MCs and secondary characters were contentious most of the time which became tedious to read. There was a storyline that was written about in depth that resulted in one aspect just basically being dropped and the other ending abruptly. It wasn't that the ending was unsatisfying as much as that there were aspects that simply didn't seem to matter as much as the reader was led to believe they should. Yes, I know that is vague, but I can't really add more detail without including spoilers. Overall, it was an interesting story, but it was somewhat disjointed and tried to be too many things in one book.
