Book Reviews of The Pale Criminal (Bernie Gunther)
Book Review: A City Without Hope
Summary: 4 Stars
Philip Kerr's THE PALE CRIMINAL preaches the absent of hope in Berlin in the last years prior to WWII. Everything and everyone is decadent. Survival alone counts as a monumental achievement. But, having lived another day, policemen Bernie Gunther wonders what mere survival is because what good is living if your life has no meaning. Kerr puts Gunther in the middle of a murder investigation where he has to toe the line between historical villians Himmler and Heydrich. The persecution of the Jews is unrelenting, and the corruption is nearly unbearable, but Gunther's determination to do his job keeps him going when everything around him is crumbling. Not a novel for light reading, but one with a coherent story and a likeable protagonist among monsters run amok.
