Prussian Blue   Philip Kerr
Most recent Bernie Gunther novel. More interesting than the previous few because he’s back in Nazi Germany, working for them against his will. He’s up at Berchtesgaden, Kerr’s pretentious homage to Der Zauberberg with Gunther as a jaded Castorp? Longer, with more detail, some unnecessary. Kerr eschewed any romantic involvement this time, probably a good thing, in the last few novels it was forced. Not as good as the first three, but enjoyable. Thanks to Charlie for giving it to me, glad I read it.
