Excellent series from a new to me writer

Revisado: 05-14-23

I saw Katrine Engberg ‘s name on the reading list from my local bookstore. This is the serving book in the series that I have read. It is exceptionally well done. The characters are interesting and involving and the stories are slightly unconventional. They are set in Denmark but are readily accessible to readers from other countries. Highly recommended

Fascinating and rich tale

Revisado: 07-26-18

Usually, we fast forward through the last days of WW2. “And then the Germans surrendered and the war ended”. Toland has mined a encyclopedia of sources to uncover a wealth of fascinating stories of heroism and horror, grace and brutality. Germany didn’t collapse. It was beaten in a hard fight that lasted until the final surrender. Hitler believed that if he lasted long enough, America and Britain would have a falling out with Stalin and recruit the Germans as allies. Long and occasionally dense but well worth the time.

Same old thing. But that's okay

Revisado: 09-28-16

With any Sean Dillon book, much is familiar. The same characters. Same descriptions. Just occasionally rearranged. In this book, Dillon and friends go to war with an international panoply of villains. For all that, it's still fun and well written. I like this narrator much more than the fellow who read the previous books.

Compelling read and interesting new character

Revisado: 05-16-16

This is the second installment of the Amos Decker series following Memory Man. Decker has a memory that is beyond photographic. He remembers everything perfectly, even things that he would rather forget. His condition makes him socially awkward but an incredible investigators. The supporting cast of characters is also strong. I felt myself compelled to keep listening to this story. The performances were strong but sounded like the characters in other Baldacci books.

Fascinating read.

Good mix of US history and revived Cold War intrigue. All of the usual characters are here and in great form. Fast paced action.

Compelling story told well

Revisado: 03-18-15

I have enjoyed Erik Larson's other books. I tried this book even though I wasnt specifically interested in the story of the Lusitania. I thought that I knew the story. But Larsen does a great job telling the take from multiple perspectives including the German Sub commander's.

Compelling epic

Revisado: 01-28-15

This book is long but never lags. This volume straddles WW2 from the depression to the cold war. The torch is largely past from one generation within the families to the next. This probably doesn't stand alone. You'd want to read this after the first volume.
