Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Midnight Man in Books
Oct 10, 2021
I haven't read anything by Caroline Mitchell before but I was initially drawn by the cover and then intrigued by the blurb which sounded like something I would enjoy and, overall, I wasn't disappointed.
There are some great characters and a fabulous plot which combines urban legend, creepy house, serial killer, murder mystery, police procedural and the paranormal. The pace is pretty good and the twists and turns provided suspense from the start.
This is a good spooky read and certainly made a nice change to the usual crime thrillers and I have to give a thank you to Embla Books and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

David McK (3623 KP) rated A Death in Berlin (CI Schenke #3) in Books
Sep 7, 2025
In this one, it's largely about gang warfare, with CI Schenke and his team (some of whom he has to be very careful around) pulled into the investigation of a murder in Berlin (hence the tile) as Hitler prepares to invade Poland, and finding this murder may be connected to another case they are investigating around forged food coupons.
As before, it's shocking that some of the stuff you read about here - specifically, the with-holding of those (non forged) coupons from the Jewish community - actually happened!
