Murder I’ve generally liked the novels I’ve read by Steve Martini, but Blood Flag fell short of the mark for several reasons. For one thing, I didn’t care for the writing style, especially the use of present tense, which seems to be all the rage these days but is an illogical way to tell a story. I liked the incorporation of history into the story behind the blood flag, which was a Nazi flag that Hitler had during his failed Beer Hall Putsch, and Hitler’s blood had shed on the flag. He later used it during his reign. But that was really about the only interesting element of the story. I found the original case featuring the defendant in the story and how the story gets started with Emma Brauer being accused of assisting in her elderly father’s death in Euthanasia fashion to be laughably silly. There was absolutely no evidence against her, and there was no way in hell she would have been arrested for murder on this basis. The entire case was utterly uninteresting to read about. One of the characters in the novel comes off as the Terminator—very unrealistic. Similarly, I found the killer in the story to lack any kind of credibility. The elements I found interesting did not rise the overall level of the novel up. I would recommend skipping this one. Carl Alves – author of The Invocation sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
