Set against a background of war-scarred Berlin in the early 1950s, M. M. Kaye'sDeath in Berlinis a consummate mystery from one of the finest storytellers of our time.
Miranda Brand is visiting Germany for what is supposed to be a month's vacation. But from the moment that Brigadier Brindley relates the story about a fortune in lost diamonds--a story in which Miranda herself figures in an unusual way--the vacation atmosphere becomes transformed into something more ominous. And when murder strikes on the night train to Berlin, Miranda finds herself unwillingly involved in a complex chain of events that will soon throw her own life into peril.
Leisurely, well-plotted, affable entertainment. -Kirkus Reviews
