Latest, and penultimate, Bernie Gunther novel. I've now read every one in the series. Written well
enough, the narrative moves right along, but the plot is static, at best, what
little action there is is told through never-ending dialogue, the character
portrayals are shallow, once again Bernie’s romantic interest is completely
unconvincing, and the cynicism is over the top. Kerr seems more interested in
appearing erudite than writing well. Got tired of Bernie’s never-ending
sarcasm. Whole thing got tedious. Too bad.
