    About this ebook

    WISTING: THE MAJOR TV SHOW NOW ON BBC FOUR
    Together with her one year old daughter Maja, single mother Sofie Lund moves into the house she inherited from her grandfather. Sofie has such painful memories that she has had every trace of the old man removed, every trace but a locked safe that has been bolted to the basement floor. Inside the safe, Sofie finds something shocking that will also become crucial evidence in a case that has plagued Inspector William Wisting for a long time. To follow this lead though, he must cut across important loyalties and undermine confidence in the police force.

    • 4/5
      Mystery set in Berlin in the 1920ies about corruption, Russians, Socialists, Monarchists and brown coats. The hero has surprisingly flexible morales or rather, the hero makes mistakes and feels bad about them, even gets shit for committing them and in the end everything isn't happyily ever after, he's still cleaning up the mess he made. It was a good book and probably well researched but it took longer than i thought necessary to set up the story.
    • 3/5
      It was pretty good. I liked the setting in 1929 Berlin and the story was OK. I haven't seen the TV series at all, but learning about that led me to this book. I'm fascinated with pre-WW II Germany and would have liked more descriptive atmosphere than what there was. Still not a bad mystery and a good leading character in Inspector Rath from Cologne. I may read more of these.

      Ganz neu im Berlin der 30-er Jahre ist der junge Kommissar leider in der falschen Abteilung gelandet: bei der Sitte statt bei der Mordkommission, aber zum Glück bietet ein schwieriger Fall gleich die Möglichkeit, sich einzumischen. Aber letztendlich ist in diesem Krimi der Krimi an sich weder besonders spannend noch besonders logisch. Viel besser ist die Vermittlung der Atmosphäre in Berlin, der Hauptstadt voller Gegensätze, voller Kommunisten und Konservative. Das ganze gesellschaftliche Spektrum passiert Revue. Dabei bleibt zwar der Krimi auf der Strecke, aber das Verständnis vom Berlin jener Zeit wird erheblich größer.
