As I mentioned, there's no actual sleuthing; the main character just walks into a room where the baddie is threatening another innocent. I picked this up just for the title.<br /><br />As for Bonhoeffer, this is the first thing relating to him I've ever looked at. I'm increasingly interested in the man given that German read I did a month or so back, about religious authorities vs. the Nazi state. When I start for a biography of him, though, I'll look for that one first.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097908023032528200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-89734446169836967192014-12-03T17:26:05.127-06:002014-12-03T17:26:05.127-06:00You cover a lot of book territory in this commenta...You cover a lot of book territory in this commentary.

It sounds like the mystery did not impress you. <br />Secondly, Dietrich Bonhoeffer: have you read (or considered reading) his biography by Eric Metaxus?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561320676355168336noreply@blogger.com
