Critics Review
Streets ahead of most other historical thrillers in its blend of wit, careful plotting and the kind of detail that brings the past to life - Sunday Times
Bernie Gunther is one of the more interesting and original private eyes in thriller fiction. [Kerr] excels in his atmospheric portrayal of Berlin - The TimesThe plotting is as taut as a bowstring, the dialogue sparkles with a life of its own, and Kerr’s historical research is unrivalled … as near perfection as makes no difference - Crime Fiction LoverThe good detective trying to do his best within a corrupt regime, few writers have tackled the theme with the rigour of Philip Kerr - IndependentKerr’s novels are modern classics - Simon Sebag Montefiore…a return to form for Kerr: it will keep diehard admirers of the Gunther novels happy and will also garner new supporters. As an alternative view of the Nazi world order, it’s hard to beat. The Lady - The Lady…a satisfying slab of hardcore historical thrills… fans of the sleuth will happily add this to their growing bookshelves, but it will win over other genre-lovers too. - Weekend SportThe best crime novels around today - Malcolm ForbesAbout The Author
