The March Fallen
The March Fallen | Volker Kutscher
4 posts | 1 read
1933: A homeless veteran is found dead under railway arches in Berlin; apparently killed by an army dagger. Gereon Rath is brought onto the case just as the Reichstag mysteriously burns down. Unsettled by the Nazis' tightening grip; he and Charlotte Ritter must also contend with their political colleagues. The new Germany is frightening; but police work must go on even among book-burning and marching; rising paranoia and fear.

Mehso-so

Finished, at last!

I was expecting a lot more from this story.
The mystery wasn't bad, but it was a bit messed up and crammed into the last part of the book, which made for a heap of exposition.
The first part of the book dragged, buising itself with a lot of distracting stuff that then amounted to very little.

I enjoyed the historical depiction of the rise of the Nazis and all the diverse reactions to it.

It isn't bad, but l'm ready to see it over.
Dragging quite a bit at this point. So many distracting things happening.

Let's see whether l can reach the 50% mark today.

I'm quite enjoying this. There's a girl believed lunatic on the run, a WWI heist gone bad, a book recounting about it that would maybe be best left unpublished, and the 1933 German elections.
It's nice.
Bit slow, at the moment, but l'm still hooked.
