Mannequin (St-Cyr and Kohler) door J. Robert Janes
During Nazi-occupied France, a French police officer and a SS agent ten up to solves a series of murders of young girls. Involves kidnapping, abuse, and pornography. Explicit and depressing. DNF.
A historical drama based before and during WWII with plenty of historical research. It's interesting but has some slow parts and there's not a whole lot of action. The setting and atmosphere are written well, although a few parts are harder to believe. This novel is the first I've read by this author. Overall, a decent drama for historical fiction readers.

WWII mystery. French detective and German detective try to work together. Interesting, a little hard to follow. I should try another of the series.
OK story, nice geology and archaeology tidbits, but I found it hard to keep the players straight.
