This almost seems like a mistake, but Amazon has it on the homepage for me so instead it must just be a Kindle megabargain
Each book is currently between £2.99 and £5.49 each I totted it up and this is a saving of over £50
Im actually 3 books into the series already but have gone for this as it costs less thn just buying the next book along
Its a very enjoyable series if youre into spy or war novels the best explanation I could give is the style of Slow Horses set in the era of Le Carre or a bit earlier. Probably not quite as good as either of those series in my opinion, but thats a very high bar
Blurb for book 1
Bernhard Gunther is 38 years old, a veteran of the Turkish Front, and an expoliceman. Hes also a private eye, specializing in missing persons, which means that hes a very busy man. Because this is Berlin 1936, and people have a nasty habit of disappearing in Hitlers capital.
A cluster of diamonds sets Bernie off on a new casediamonds and a couple of bodies. The daughter and soninlaw of Hermann Six, industrialist millionaire and German patriot, have been shot dead in their bed and a priceless necklace stolen from the safe. As Bernie pursues the case through seedy Berlin nightclubs, the building sites for the new autobahns, and even the magnificent Olympic Stadium where Jesse Owens is currently disproving all the fashionable racist theories, so hes led inexorably into the cesspit that is Nazi Germany, travelling the murky paths from the police morgue where missing persons usually end up to, finally, Dachau itself.
MARCH VIOLETS is a vivid and unusual first novel. Stylishly written, powerfully evocative, it offers a convincing picture of life in Nazi Berlin, as well as a private eye in the great tradition of Hammett and Chandler.
