Operation Berlin is the latest book from author Michael Ridpath. It is the first book in The Foreign Correspondent Series, published via Boldwood Books.
In a city rebuilding from war, truth can be the most dangerous weapon of all.
Berlin, 1930.
Historian Archie Laverick, scarred mentally and physically by the Great War, travels to Berlin to research a famed Prussian general. His quiet study is shattered when he crosses paths with Esme Carmichael, a spirited young American intent on making her name as a foreign correspondent. When a shooting at a Saxon castle leaves a young Jewish woman accused of murder, Archie and Esme are drawn into a perilous hunt for the truth.
Their investigation cuts through the glittering façades and lingering scars of a nation still reeling from war – where resentment simmers, political alliances shift, and the first shadows of a new conflict fall across Europe. Amid whispers of blackmail and betrayal, the pair must navigate intrigue and danger to unmask a killer hiding in plain sight.
Operation Berlin is a book I did not know what to expect when I began reading. Was it historical fiction, was it a mystery? And the answer is it’s a perfect blend of both and a very intriguing and interesting start to a new series from Michael Ridpath. It has a very cosy crime feel, which made it quite nice to read without being too intense.
The characters all have lots of secrets and many hidden depths to them, which keep you turning the pages and wanting to discover what they are hiding.
A very enjoyable read and I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
