About this listen

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER!

'Scarrow's Berlin is sharply drawn with closely observed detail, a place that reeks of threat and fear - and not just from the Gestapo' Financial Times

'Gripping, with an electric atmosphere and cracking pace' Sun

Berlin. 1940. Hitler's rule casts a menacing shadow over the city. As the distant war moves closer, Criminal Inspector Horst Schenke fights to keep criminals off his patch. But he is walking a tightrope. If his secret relationship with a Jewish woman is exposed, his career will be over. And her fate will be far, far worse.

In Hitler's regime, Berlin's gangsters and pimps are more brazen than ever. When innocent victims are caught in the crossfire between warring gangs, Schenke wants the perpetrators punished. But Nazi party members with absolute power will do anything to protect their sleazy friends. They believe no one is incorruptible. All they need is to find out Schenke's secrets . . .

Will Schenke's relentless pursuit bring the criminals to justice - or is a deadly net closing around him from which it will be impossible to break free?

Well read and engaging storyline. Crime and the underworld in wartime Berlin. Strong characters and a super plot. Another must listen from this incredible author.

Gripping plot and sub plots..

I love the story telling, the characters and the history. the book is well written and well read other than the accent of some of the characters, it sounds strange listening to German characters with Scouse, Geordie, Scottish and Welsh accents rather than the neutral tones of the narrator.

The depth of detail in the main characters leaves me waiting with anticipation for the next book.

Not my usual genre but really pleased I took a punt. Perfect length, although I could have listened to more. Great storytelling and narrator.

I have enjoyed the series, it's a thought provoking and interesting insight to life under the Third Reich. A good person trying to do the right thing against the system . A lesson from History not to be ignored.

Excellent

This was an excellent book that was narrated so well. Highly recommended by both of us!

A great story!

Solid story but not very surprising if you know a little about prewar Germany. The main characters do not develop and become very close to twodimensional, it is the baddies who carry the story and the use of British dialects to add to their persona's gives a little extra gravity.
The narrator does the usual top notch work - except for the inconsistency in how to pronounce the various police ranks, which probably is the authors fault. When you make the effort to pronounce "Scharführer" in good German, please do the honour with Kriminalinspektor (two K's even)
Overall I liked it. Not the best that Simon Scarrow has written, but it still is an enjoyable listen and it will be interesting to hear where the team is going next.

It's Kriminal with a K
