A review by nferre
The Pale Criminal by Philip Kerr
3.0
Interesting look at pre-war Nazi Germany. The story revolves around a private detective solving the murder of his partner and, related, the murders of several young girls. More than a story the author brings the reader into an atmosphere of ethical evil, weaving in historical details of those dark times.
My beef? The constant sexual graphic references which, though common for the times, were over the top - especially the very negative and derogatory references to homosexuals.
The narrator of the audiobook was excellent - however, if you are a visual learner as I am, the written version might be easier to follow. I had a hard time keeping track of names.
