Reillylives's "Berlin Noir" Book Reviews Blog

reillylives · February 2013

Hey, Bernie fans! Checking out all the discussions here about Bernie and Kerr's great books got me thinking about the other writers who contribute to the genre that has come to be known as Berlin Noir. Folks like Jonathan Rabb, Rebecca Cantrell, David Downing, Joseph Kanon, Jeffery Deaver, etc. So I created a Berlin Noir blog where I will review every Berlin Noir book I can get my hands on. To get things rolling, I start with a review of MARCH VIOLETS and it's just gone live. Pop on over and check it out:

http://berlin-noir.blogspot.ca/

And if you have any suggestions for Berlin Noir books I may not be aware of, please contact me through the blog and let me know. I've got a list with around 25 or 26 titles on it. It's my hope you'll check out the blog to keep up to date with the genre while sticking here for all the Bernie news that's fit to print. I welcome any comments or suggestions any of you might have. Enjoy!

Great idea, reillylives. Good luck with it!

reillylives · February 2013

Thanks! It's fun to do and I hope it will help fans keep up to date with the genre that Kerr created. Stop on by, folks!

Enjoy your blog site.
Like to post a comment but can't seem to figure out how to do that ;>)

reillylives · March 2013

Glad you are enjoying the blog! Thanks for stopping by. As for comments, is the comments link not working? If so, I'll have to get in there and tinker. So what's you're favorite Gunther book? I'll review all of them eventually.

I've begun a new feature at Berlin Noir: a cover gallery! Great way to keep track of all the Berlin Noir releases. There will be a new author featured every week. This week Rebecca Cantrell's quartet of novels are showcased. Have a look!

Blog looks great! Happy to see Philip mention it on Facebook!

reillylives · March 2013

Thanks! Hearing from the man himself was a thrill. As the genre continues to grow, it's my hope that the blog will be every fan's place to keep up to date with Berlin Noir releases. Every time I think I've found all of the recent books, I stumble upon another. Lots of authors living in the house that Philip Kerr built.
