I love German crime fiction so I was excited to be given the opportunity to read Heidelberg Requiem. However, I'm afraid this book and I did not click at all. It's taken me a full two weeks to read from start to finish and yes, life did get in the way a little, but I had to push myself to pick up my Kindle (this coming from a bookworm!). The characters held no attraction for me; they felt cold, lifeless and I couldn't really bring myself to care for any of them. The story I found uninteresting and I hate to say it, dull. I'm not one to give up on a book part way through and although I did consider walking away from Heidelberg Requiem, I persevered and I'm glad I did. I'm sorry but I can not recommend this book so I will not be publishing this review on my blog.
