Darker but still entertaining
This is the 4th in the Rowland Sinclair series of adventure mysteries set in 1930s Australia although the background here is an increasingly repressive 3rd Reich Munich. In many ways this mystery is dominated by our knowledge of what was to come in Germany - something the protagonists don't know. This is particularly true of the backstory of Eva the young German shop assistant the group befriend. We know who she is and her ultimate fate - knowledge Rowly and his friends are denied.
Rowland and his friends prove able and inventive in the tactics they use to achieve their task in Germany and they meet and make interesting friends. Although this is in some ways much grimmer than previous books in this series there is still a humour and irreverence which threads through these stories. Parts of this story were truly disturbing and the Australians reactions to the German repressions was well conveyed.
Perhaps as another reviewer has noted the mystery was more obvious than others have been but this book touched me more deeply than the previous books. I truly felt the fear and horror and appreciated the courage of those who resisted. As Senator Hardy says when he shakes Milton's hand, "Desperate times, strange bedfellows". This was a worthy contribution to this fine series.
Loved it.
This is a writer that I will keep reading until I have finished the whole series. Luckily there are plenty of books to read.
A great read.
Paving the New Road iss another great read from Sulari Gentill. Rowland Sinclair and his friends travel to Germany as Hitler is rising to power.The historical research was obviously extensive and the author manages to evoke the time and place beautifully. However it wasn't the strongest of the novels to date with the mystery being fairly obvious and the characters seeming a little secondary to the scenery.
This is a great series of books but at this point I think the author needs to think about the direction of the characters and perhaps not use so many historical figures in her books. The characters of Rowly and his friends and family are terrific and they need to take centre stage again and be developed. I just get the feeling that aspects of this novel were a bit rushed.
Still an entertaining read by a great author and I'm already waiting for the next one.
Book 4, The stakes go up as Rowland travels to Germany
Rowland is maneuvered into traveling to Germany as a spy for the Old Guard. Extreme danger follows as he steers between Nazis, spies, news reporters, communists, artists and radicals in general. His loyal friends go with him, and their support brings him home in almost one piece.
The atmosphere in Germany is ominous, and the book gives a look into the anxiety of this period. Very well researched and written. Might as well get the entire series, you'll want to keep reading.
