![]() ![]() I quite enjoyed reconnecting with Bernie in peace times. The boat was officially searching for antic artifacts, but with the German looking quite dubious and carrying a gun, there’s got to be more to it, right? He is sent to Greece to investigate a claim on a sunken boat owned by a German guy. ![]() But by a strange turn of events, Bernie takes a new career as an insurance claim adjuster, because his new bosses see his detective skills as very useful to check if claims are legit or scams. ![]() Bernie Gunther probably is a mixed of the three at the beginning of the book as he works under another name as a hospital morgue attendant: not a place where customers are inclined to chit-chat or ask questions. Some people try to forget, some people want to be forgotten and some don’t want the events to be forgotten too soon and too conveniently. The book is set 12 years after the end of the war and lots have happened since. Not that I usually care, and not that Philip Kerr wrote the books in chronological order anyway. ![]() I got this one on a Kindle deal, and I was not careful enough to notice that there are actually 2 books between this one and the Balkan one. Last time I read a Bernie Gunther was in summer 2019 with The Lady from Zagreb, but I thought it was way longer than that. ![]()
