A Staircase to the Past: Memories Made and Broken with Every Step
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm a huge fan of police procedurals, and this book delivers. It's part of the 'Stars of world detective fiction' series, and I'm really enjoying the complex, twisty plots. The story's engaging, and the characters are well-developed. I've read almost all of Frank Tallis's books, and this series about Dr. Max Liebermann and Detective Inspector Eibert is a highlight. The soft cover is perfect for detective novels – they're usually one-offs, read quickly, and then you're done. The book's available in both paperback and hardcover formats, but the hardcover's a bit harder to find. The story's got a great balance of mystery, suspense, and character development, making it a compelling read. If you're a fan of detective novels, you'll likely find this one worth your time.
