Fatherland


Fatherland was a bestseller for Robert Harris and it's easy to see why. The story of a SS Detective in the 1960's, twenty some years after a Nazi victory in WWII, it effortlessly melds speculative fiction and noir into a very readable novel. 

I certainly enjoyed it, but I will say the center of the "mystery" was a little obvious, I don't want to spoil anything here so forgive the vagueness, but I bet, if you asked 1000 people to write an original outline for a book like this, 980 would feature the same plot point. 

Aside from that, which is probably just me being a nitpicker, it was very good. 

Grade: A-

read in early October
