Zoo Station by David Downing

David Downing is a contemporary British author who has written a series of six mystery-espionage books known as The Station Series because they are all named after train stations. Zoo Station is the First in the series. The era is before, during, and after WWII and this book takes place mostly in Berlin. I stopped reading at the 15% mark on my Kindle, not because the writing was poor. In fact, the character development seemed to be moving along nicely. It’s just that I’ve had enough of reading about the Nazi era – which is not my favorite. Given the author’s obvious attempts to be true to historical events and people, Vegas Bill (one of our occasional reviewers) might love this stuff. I’m not sure where I came across this author, but this book has been sitting in my archive of books for a while. I can’t recommend it or suggest that you don’t read it. It’s just not my cup of tea at the moment.
