" I had read a good review of this book, so when I ran across it in the library, I picked it up. I didn't realize that this was #8 about Bernie Gunther, the main character, but I didn't feel that not having read any of the previous ones made a difference. I just wasn't really into the book. The only interesting part was Gunther's actual murder investigation. I didn't like all the Nazi intrigues and had a hard time keeping all the names straight. I often forgot from one day to the other the details of what I had read before. "
