4.0 out of 5 stars A solid read but weak in parts, Dec 15 2008

By	Readalot (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: City Of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed this book, especially the lead character, but what fell through for me was the disappointing unveiling of the villian. The end of the murder mystery was a letdown in my opinion..like the author had a great idea but just couldn't finish it off.

Villian aside, the ending of the book had a great twist and really threw me for a loop. I don't want to ruin it for anyone but it definitely caught me by surprise.

I quite like this author and recommend her books. She's a wonderful story teller and really brings her lead characters to life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weak in the middle, but good overall, May 15 2007

By	Rob Nicol (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: City Of Shadows (Paperback)

I like mysteries set in Germany between the wars (e.g. "Rosa" by Rabb and the Berlin Noir trilogy by Kerr) and this is an excellent adaptation of that genre and period. Very readable and engaging from the beginning. The main characters (Schmidt and Solomonova) are well done. There are a couple of great plot twists. My only complaint would be that it lags a bit in the middle and could have been significantly shorter and tighter. Interesting ending...

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Book Fast Read, Mar 22 2009

By	Dave and Joe "De Video Darlings" (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: City Of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)

I tore through this book at lightning speed. I kept wanting to slow down but I'd fallen in love with a woman who had a scar on her cheek - I wanted to know she was ok, that someone would care for her ... City of Shadow introduces you to people that matter in history but more important, they matter to you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing...almost brilliant
I truly loved this book! I loved the main characters and their interactions with one another. I thought the use of two narrators worked well and I never got confused. Read more
