In 2020 I did this series as my series of the year, and followed this couple and author. I really loved every single one of them, although I admit that by the fifth one, I was kind of tired of the title characters. But they have all been runaway hits with me, and this one was no exception, and with plenty of space between to enjoy them again.
These books, this series deals with prosecuting in the present, war crimes in the past, or in two of the situations an Arab Israeli Conflict kidnapping, and an Irish Family Squabble. Otherwise, all the books center on the hiding and persecution of Jews, the Holocaust, WW2, and Nazi occupation of various countries. The defendants are elderly, and often there is little evidence to go on. Incredibly often, there is a war hero who is masquerading their crimes as Nazi Collaborators. Enter Book Six, and the charming Britta Stein. Centering on her story of a girl in Denmark, Britta Stein at 92 will not let the honoring and reverence as a war hero of Ole Hendriks stand. At age 95, a beloved barman is getting honored for his work in rescuing Jews in Denmark. Britta Stein believes the opposite and has a story to tell. With masterful storytelling, legal expertise, damn good detective work, and tremendous compassion for the survivors of that time, not to mention family legacy, Catherine and Liam must work hard to bring Britta's story to light. Another five stars for Britta Stein and Ron Balson, who never disappoints....more
