About this listen

In war-torn Yugoslavia, a young film maker and photographer and a German officer have been murdered. Assigned to the case is military intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt. Already haunted by his wartime actions, he soon finds that his investigation may be more than just a murder—and that the late Yugoslavian film maker may have been much more brilliant—and treacherous—than anyone knew.

I have now listened to four books in the series. It is interesting to follow how an ordinary policeman before the war copes with the changes as his country goes to war. The details in the story are obviously well researched, and really help you imagine how things were at the time.
My only minor criticism is that the stories feel a bit too long.

Enjoyable series

This has a good plot but it struck me that there were many unnecessary twists and tangents. It had me thinking, more than once, will this story ever reach an end?

The narrator, while good overall, had difficulty with achieving vocal separation between characters and on many occasions I was left wondering which of those people involved in a particular scene was actually speaking.

Hopefully, Luke will discover the merit of brevity in his future novels.

A good story but far too long.
