German Edition by Volker Kutscher (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (4,458)

Der erste Fall der Gereon Rath-Bestsellerreihe
Mit diesem Roman beginnt die spektakuläre Serie, in der Kutscher seinen Kriminalkommissar Gereon Rath in die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche im Berlin der späten 20er-Jahre führt.
Rath, neu in Berlin und abgestellt bei der Sitte, erlebt eine Weltstadt im Rausch, die von sozialen und politischen Spannungen zerrissen ist. Ungefragt schaltet sich der Kommissar in die stagnierenden Ermittlungen eines Mordfalls ein – und stößt in ein Wespennest. Dann verliebt Rath sich in Charly, Stenotypistin in der Mordkommission, und missbraucht ihr Insiderwissen für seine einsamen Ermittlungen.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book...great delivery....
    Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    On a par with (but different because of media) TV series... maybe better in fact. Great book for German students as it is available in English too, but much more colorful and 'alive' in German. 1929 Berlin beautifully recreated, with (as far as I can tell) a huge amount of research. Dialog fresh and lively...watch out for Berlin-Dialect: delicious. Delivery and physical quality of paperback done perfectly too.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Quite different from the TV Series
    Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    It's been a while since I read a book in German and I was thrilled to find out that Kindle can translate the bits I don't understand. I'm really enjoying it, but people should be aware that the book is a well-crafted detective story in the classic sense. It's very different from the TV series, not so much in terms of plot (though there are several differences in that regard) but in the atmosphere and overall "feel". I think it was really brave of the author to give the TV producers permission to interpret his work freely because while he wrote a terrific book, the TV producers created something truly luminous and unique.

    If you watched the TV series based on these books, you should definitely read this one. I haven't read the others yet, but so far there are radical differences between the novel and the series, and I find the novel much more credible.

    Amazing narrator! I cannot stop listening to this German original. Not sure if it is just the story, the way it is told, or both, but I cannot stop.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Editing, an Author's Savior
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2019
    Format: Paperback
    A series of often violent scenes, interspered with tedious descriptions of mundane activities, all in service of synthesizing a plot. As Andrea Camilleri has said, a mystery is not that interesting a format unless there is significant character development, and there is precious little of that here. There is no real humor in this book, no descriptions of wonder or pleasure in daily events which make life worth living, no attempt to place much reflection the protagonist's situations.
    I quit after 200 pages, not willing to keep slogging away to reach a denouement which after all the work could not be satisfying to me. I would rather read one poem of a great writer like Victor Hugo in the original language than a whole book of this stuff in the original. If Kutscher had cut the book in half, it would have perhaps been worth the time.
