Summary

Munich, 1935 - The Bavarian capital is a magnet for young, aristocratic Britons who come to learn German, swim in the lakes and drink beer in the cellars.

What they don't see - or choose to ignore - is the brutal underbelly of the Nazi movement which considers Munich its spiritual home.

When a high-born English girl is murdered, Detective Sebastian Wolff is ordered to solve the crime. Wolff is already walking a tight line between doing his job and falling foul of the political party he abhors. Now Hitler is taking a personal interest in the case.

Followed by the secret police and threatened by his own son, a fervent member of the Hitler Youth, the stakes have never been higher. And when Wolff begins to suspect that the killer might be linked to the highest reaches of the Nazi hierarchy, he fears his task is simply impossible - and that he might become the next victim.

Good Story

Another good story from Rory Clement. Description was a little bit repetitive but still enjoyable.

Good story

Hard to tell if the voices are male or female sometimes. Worthy of more of my attention than I gave it though.

Munich Wolf!!! a tremendous read 

Within less than two minutes, I knew I was going to enjoy this book.
I wasn’t wrong.
It once again reminds us of the terrible times and fear, the people of Munich, and indeed, the rest of Germany lived in. 
Sebastian Wolf is a very resourceful, yet realistic character, and I sincerely hope that this is the beginning of a new series.
The novel itself was absolutely outstanding!!
What a way to start my year.

Is Inspector Wolf the new Bertie Gunter?

Rory Clements takes us to Munich and introduces us to Inspector Wolf, Our hero is a non nazi police officer, not only fighting crime but having to negotiate the various competing political factions who are intent on making life difficult for an honest cop.

Munich was the city which saw the birth of the Nazi party, the book is set in 1935 after Hitler came to power and is a murder mystery story, Rory paints a disturbing picture of life for ordinary folk where the Nazis had introduced a climate of fear of imprisonment or worse, for saying the wrong thing, or had political or religious beliefs that were contrary to what was required..
It is all here British aristocracy, occult, murder, love interest for our hero with Himmler, Hitler, and Heydrich all name checked if not involved

It was said that this was a one off book, I hope it is not, the way must be open for a return to what appears to be a very fertile period and set in one of the hotbeds of Nazi support with lots of political infighting

A really good listen

A slowish introduction to the time and characters in Munich in the 1930s but when it gets going the personalities and events keep you gripped. The final denouement is unexpected and the final sentence makes you imagine there may be more outings for the Kripo and Sebastian.

What an introduction to Sebastian Wolf!

Yet another great story from Rory Clements narrated so well by Adam Sims. The intonations, accents and inflections from Adam make this story come alive.
