Death in Breslau

The setting feels so vivid and atmospheric — I wonder whether the author drew from personal history or extensive research to bring this period to life.

The detective's inner struggles added layers to the story, but I was also uneasy about how much tragedy he endured. How did others interpret his arc?

The backdrop of WWII in Breslau seems to shape many plot choices. I'm curious whether the story would have been different in a different era or city.
