☆☆☆☆☆
Read them below: The Guardian, The New York Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Spectator and The Wall Street Journal —
THE GUARDIAN
“Wonderfully plotted, with elegant prose, witty dialogue, homages to German Expressionism and a strong emotional charge, this is a bittersweet ending to a superb series.”
— Metropolis by Philip Kerr review – the last outing for Bernie Gunther
THE NEW YORK TIMES
“Kerr’s 14th novel in this series proves to be Gunther’s origin story, which makes it feel imperative as well as poignant.”
THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
“The plots are racy, the historic detail awe-inspiring and the femmes fatales seductive. Best of all, Bernie is a deliciously old-fashioned bastard of a detective in the mould of Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade.”
— Metropolis: The final chapter for Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther
THE SPECTATOR
“Metropolis is a fitting swan song for this intelligent and always thought-provoking series.”
— Farewell Bernie Gunther: Metropolis, by Philip Kerr, reviewed
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
“The author’s singular gifts for conveying the verbal, physical and moral textures of this vanished world are undiminished in Metropolis.”
