re: #169 dangerman
psst…
i downloaded a bunch of bernie gunther novels and started reading the first one last night
Great thing about them: they are all out of sequence so it doesn’t REALLY matter the order in which you read them.
The first three are now bundled together as the “Berlin Noir” trilogy. However, I feel like Kerr has became a better author in the years he took off from the series (and stopped making a few anachronistic mistakes) so I would not necessarily recommend anyone has to start there.
