The Informer   Craig Nova
Dark and atmospheric novel set in pre-war Germany about a prostitute who informs for both the communists and the Nazis, and the female detective trying to solve the serial murders of prostitutes. Grim, like the times. I have loved all of Nova’s other novels. While I liked this one the least, it was still good.

Up in Honey’s Room   Elmore Leonard
Typically entertaining Leonard novel about German spies and escaped POWs in 1945 Detroit. A Raylan-like marshal, some hot women, and violence. As usual, the dialogue and accomplished prose propel the narrative. Enough of a distraction.
