Book Reviews of The One from the Other
Book Review: Bernie Gunther Is Back!
Summary: 5 Stars
Phillip Kerr has a real sense of texture and detail for noir and the era that created it. Although he has successfully stepped outside of the detective genre in exercising this expertise (Hitler's Peace), somehow this stuff just seems to work best with the archetypal character of noir, the smart-mouthed detective. Kerr first became noticed in America (he's British) for his Berlin Noir trilogy, featuring gumshoe Bernie Gunther. Think Phillip Marlowe as an anti-Nazi German caught up in pre-war and wartime existential apocalypse. With The One From The Other, Gunther is back, albeit in Cold War Germany, and the moral hangover is palpable. I recommend you read the trilogy first, and then you will have no choice but to read this one. Kerr rises above typical genre writing but still provides the guilty pleasure.
