Review
“[Borrmann’s] voice is unique in the landscape of German crime writing. Not sanitized, not market-oriented, but individual. A writer who has something to say—and finds the right words, phrases, and stories to say it with.” —Ulrich Noller, Deutsche Welle

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. At last, a serious mystery book which is also very readable. By Avid Whodunnit Reader SILENCE is one of the best books I have read recently. It s beautifully written (in English Translation), and the characters were sympathetic. The style of mystery is fairly low key, some violence that helps the story along, and the denouement is well brought about with all clues finally answered.Towards the end, I did get some idea of the ending, but not altogether, and that is great with me.The settings were Germany in the past and the present, and the depictions of war were credible without overwhelming the essential theme of the story. I hope to read more stories of this caliber by this author..
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Excellent, involved mystery. Good, Enjoyable Read By Eldon Andy Andersen WWII/1998 mystery (includes a murder but not main mystery in story). Fairly short (225 pages), good read - entertaining and thoughtful. Good translation from German to English (with a few slightly clumsy translations) that did not impede reading or understanding. Story described well in other reviews.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A different sort of Nazi-past mystery By Paul Whereas a few years ago Sweden became a hub for mysteries translated to English, now it’s Germany’s turn; this is the fifth or sixth I’ve read in the past year. The premise is simple: man finds photo, has daddy issues, piques a journalist’s curiosity. But of course things are never that simple, especially because there’s another narrative going on, taking place during World War 2.For a while the journalist is the protagonist, but when she’s killed this turns from a history mystery to a murder mystery. The new lead is a small town cop derisively described as a “small-town sheriff” who talks to cats. Oh boy. . .This could have easily been two separate stories, but thankfully they tied together very well. The last twist did indeed surprise me; nothing told me it was coming. And the killing of the journalist turned out to be. . . probably not a spoiler, but why take the chance?Altogether a well-written book; setting and plot in particular stand out. The one place that could have been improved was the dialogue in helping to set each character apart, especially in the historical storyline; there’s a character guide in the beginning, but I was hoping not to have to refer to it as often as I did.
