A review by didactylos
The Other Side of Silence by Philip Kerr

dark mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Disappointing. The idea is clever and the sense of place  is powerful. However the book is tediously long with its insistence on the full tape process (not wanting to give any spoiler) also I spotted a certain lady was a 'wrong un' around three pages after she appeared yet Bernie tells her all manner of things that just would not happen. Unbelievable I am afraid. Is this another example of a good series being prolonged past its natural end?
