I remember when I was at university, I had an English tutor who stated that he though crime fiction was the best kind of fiction there is. At the time I didn't agree with him. I still don't.

Indeed, I think that if he had read this book he would have changed his own tune: this is needlessly graphic, uncomfortable and plodding, with crime scene forensics being the main 'draw' (if I can even use such a word about this) to any potential reader.

In short: one to avoid.

"This is fiction, but it impressed the hell out of me even though I very rarely have time to read fiction these days. It is the New York Times book review “Notable Book of The Year,” as well. It gives the account of Germans who fought Nazism and were killed or put in jail for life by Nazis for it. A German citizen is killed just for dropping cards all over the city writing his objection of Hitler’s policies. His wife was also sentenced to death, and was in jail indefinitely"
