I like these fast, easy to read western books. They do not require a lot of thinking or wondering what is going to happen but they are enjoyable. This one is not exception. As usual Ben knows what needs to be done and suggest what to do to most people. As in all westerns there is a lot of shooting and people getting killed, this one has some knife throwing in it.

There is a small surprise at the ending but as you read the book you can almost see it coming. It is a little sad and a little happy for a person also. Will not say more as I don't want to give it away.

If you like easy, fast reading westerns with quite a bit of action then this series is for you.

Interesting tale about a man and the boy who may or may not be his son.

I had glanced over reviews for "Django"* and I was curious as to how such an assembly of characters would join together to create a well-written tale full of surprises. Each actor brings their own identity to make a movie where the sum of the parts far outweighs each individual addition. Watch this movie with just a curious notion and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Very dark, and very entertaining. A common man placed in a very uncommon situation.

This one brings a new Carpathien into the mix. one that is not known to us or the current Prince.  But the fact that he is known to his lifemate puts a new twist on things.

Captain Gregor Reinhardt is not what you would call a contented man.

An officer in the Abwehr, he can barely remember a time when he felt good about himself. When he was a proper policeman, back in Germany. When he was happily married to a good woman, before she died. When his estranged son still looked up to him, before he joined her in death.

When he had a government he could occasionally look up to, before the Nazis ruined it.

Now, posted to one of the most ethnically, religiously, and politically-divided areas in Europe -- Sarajevo, in Yugoslavia -- he spends his days carrying out orders he can't live with, and spends his nights drunk and waiting for the moment where he'll put his gun to his temple, again, and see if tonight's his lucky night.

Not a great way to go through life, even in wartime. But then he"s handed a case that puts the poor hand he feels he's been dealt in some perspective.

One of his fellow Abwehr officers has been found murdered in a woman's apartment. The woman has also been murdered, and quite brutally. But what gives Reinhardt pause is that he knew her -- a beautiful, lively, and politically-active woman, renowned throughout the higher echelons of the Reich for her patriotic film-making.

Reinhardt had danced with her, once, and she made him feel as though his troubles did not exist, so he figures the least he can do for her is find out what happened. But discovering that will be very difficult in this place and this time.

Promised "cooperation" by the local police, he's partnered with a brutal thug who would rather pin the murder on someone from a long list of suspected communists, partisans, and Jews, and getting help from an old police colleague, now working in the SS, proves farcical at best. He  runs into interference from the mob of other, higher officers in town, all preparing for a major offensive against the partisans, and not willing to be asked questions about their whereabouts from some impertinent little Captain. And he soon begins to wonder if his commanding officer is able, or willing, to tell him the whole truth,

As Reinhardt continues to investigate, in spite of all obstacles, he comes to understand that this is not merely an investigation into a murder. There is a secret, here -- maybe several secrets. And people are willing to kill and kill again in order to keep them.

Can Captain Reinhardt persevere and find what has really happened in this divided town, or is this doomed to be yet another case where the truth is discarded in the name of a higher purpose he can't believe in, anymore?

Saying that Luke McCallin's debut novel is just an engrossing read is selling it short. The Man from Berlin presents a complex puzzle, filled with memorable characters with differing agendas, all coming together in an unforgettable investigation, worthy of comparison to Martin Cruz Smith and Alan Furst. It may start out a bit slow, as the pieces must be assembled and examined, but once the kubelwagen gets moving, I defy anyone who likes wartime mysteries to put it down. If anything, you'll be joining me in looking forward to Captain Reinhardt's next assignment

At some point, all men in committed relationship begin to wonder about what it would be like to go back to being a single man. Kostya is an average man with a wife and a new child going through this rather typical situation and handling it in a very unusual and fascinating way. A few bad decisions lead him down a path that he's not so sure he wants to go down.

Kostya is an amazingly well written character. At every step he remains as human as the reader. That's a common thread among most of the characters in the novel as well. The author has a very good sense of realism in character development. Throughout this story, you really get to care for the characters as they develop. This ultimately leads to an ending that is as emotional as any I've ever read.

I recommend it.

In this book it really was very interesting read. You find yourself paying closely attention to men and there details. Like how he may introduce you to his friends, family. It's a good read, you just may need to evaluate your situation to see if these tactics are the one you should use in your relationship or situation

A real tear jerker. It is hard to imagine one man's fight to overcome the odds and walk again,
read it and find out. You will not be able to put it down

It gives a rare insight into the mind of a man who was ever on guard to reveal very little about himself

It's amazing what one can discover about himself when forced to see through someone else's eyes. A condensed world expands with interpretation.
