Book Frisson

** spoiler alert **
           This book was good and refreshing. The writing was exceptional; however, I kind of felt disconnected from the characters in a way. 

Anke and the Captain had some insta love, which agitated me to no end, and the flashbacks seemed to serve no purpose at all. 

I’m giving it 3 stars because of how informative it was and because of the ending.

It's difficult to put into words all of the things I loved about this book. It was well researched and just fascinating. I love a good alternate history and the idea of Hitler having a child is definitely one of the most troubling and interesting what ifs. The ending tore at my heart strings and left me totally surprised. Robotham does a great job of not necessarily applying a morality to some of the characters that would be hard to argue they had. I felt the book was gracefully written and so engaging.
