March Violets

I felt like a genius when I guessed right regarding the big twist: the dead woman wasn't the daughter, but the mistress, and that the daughter was absconding with the necklace and daddy's personal secretary to start a new life in the UK. It was just like in one of Lee Childs's Jack Reacher books, only here she gets raped to death instead of starting a new life.It was pretty surprising about the concentration camp stuff, but still more surprising that Gunther's assistant just vanishes and he never finds her. Or at least, not in this book - is it possible that she resurfaces in a later installment? Hmm.

The 1930's Nazi Germany setting is interesting, the Chandleresque dialogue a bit overdone for my taste.
