" Update: I spoke with other people who have read this, and I'm SO glad it's not just me who took issue with the execution of the themes! A few people have also raised how poorly Doll's storyline was dealt with (minor spoiler warning: (view spoiler)" Read more of this review »

The prose and the setting: superb. The characterizations: rich and multidimensional.

Rounded up from 3.5 stars

The description promised that fans of Alan Furst would love "Operation Berlin," so I went into it thinking it was going to be gritty intrigue featuring morally complex characters. It isn't, nor does it have the rich writing o
