  • I agree great news!!!! I hope it deals with young Bernie, like circa 1930. is that when his famous murder case happened?
  • I loved the Shot. It was a quick, easy read while still being very engrossing and fascinating. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end and really did not see what was coming! I think it's totally fascinating how P.K. doesn't seem to set any of …
  • I actually LOVE that Kerr doesn't give many details of Bernie's looks. I don't want anyone to tell me what he looks like. I have a vague, shadowy idea of what he looks like -- and somehow it seems appropriate that his face is obscured in my mind. I …
  • I just finished A Five-Year Plan. Fantastic! I highly recommend it for a great summer beach read. (It's not too taxing a read.) I learned about some things I never knew about -- as always happens with Kerr's books.
  • oh tom you should not be reading the forums if you're not done with the books!! ha ha !! write a review when your done

  • >>> tomtuite Noreen does it for me. And I think he could get it on with Frau Adlon too. Frieda the former Olympic fencer, with whom he had casual relationship, seemed pretty cool. Have you ever seen a photo of Hedda Adlon? There's one he…
  • Okay, I'm in. March Violets A German Requiem A Quiet Flame If the Dead Rise Not The Pale Criminal The One From the Other
  • Reading these books, I constantly found myself going to Wikipedia or Google to see if this person was real or if that person was real, or that place, or that event... I love the "real" famous people popping up in the books. Bernie certainly led and …
  • Dominic West starred in Philip Kerr's favorite tv show The Wire. So that would be great! But he doesn't look much like Bernie is described - what little description there is. And he doesn't look too German. Terrific actor though.
