Ben Manning wrote a story with a tightly knitted plot!
With a touch of
romance, tragedy and loss the story takes the reader to Berlin.
Modern Berlin is a hubbub of the arts with a progressive youth that is
in stark contrast with the Berlin of Nazi German. The contrast should be stark
and in certain aspects it is though the true ethos of the book lies in the fact
that we as a people have not learned our lesson.
Conspiracy theory and
secret societies abound this book is reminiscent of Dan Brown. Detail and a
workable hypothesis adds a level to the plot while psychic abilities and curses
overlies the detail to add ever more to the story.
This is a book that I
would not have passed by in a bookshop. And I would not have been disappointed.
What I loved the most about this book is the fact that the author
includes several plot lines interwoven and make it work expertly in one
continuing page turner. The fact that the author did all this whilst building up
characters shifting from modern to gothic is a testimony of his research and his
surety of the subject of the book.
A 5* rating hardly seems fair for a
10* read.
