So thrilling, I was hooked from the beginning and trying to figure out who the killer was and the ending was definitely satisfying. Would read again loved it.

Whoever decided this would be the classroom read should be sued.

I enjoyed this book as much as I did Private London. This was a very engaging story with multiples stories going throughout, but I also enjoyed the history lesson on Germany and the unbelieveable things that transpired during WW2, the Cold War and then the eventual fall of the Berlin wall. The impact that it still has on Berlin and Germany today is staggering and should be remembered. I am over 50% German, so I found it very enlightening. I thought the character development was on par for Patterson and the plot was more complex than some of his books lately.
I would recommend this book and give it a 4 out of 5 stars. I listened to an unabridged audiobook and the narrators were very good.

Nicely done, Mr. Patterson and Mr. Sullivan! A very good addition to the Private series. Now I'm ready for the next one!

When one of Private Berlin's investigators go missing, Private goes searching. This book takes us through the cases that missing investigator, Chris Schneider, was working on prior to his disappearance. In a search to find the truth Chris' former fiance and head of Private Berlin, Mattie Engel, uncovers the some of Berlin's painful past.
I listened to this book on audio (as per usual for this series). This is the first Private book that really creeped me out. This book feature two different readers, one for the villain and one for Mattie and the villain's performer was so completely unsettling and creepy I had a hard time getting to bed after listening to this book.
One big issue that I did have with this book is that I had is that parts of it read like getting directions to a mall "now take 27th over to main, take that to Cleavland,...." except with German names. I'm sure if I'd been to Berlin or had an idea about the geography It wouldn't have bothered me nearly as much it happened so much that it was really annoying.

Enjoyed the first three installments but the last two (London and Berlin) have been AWFUL. Attempting to be too clever with the plot, the first person narration being terrible, storyline lacked teeth. May give up on this series.
