Taylor's Reviews > Ashes in the Snow

Part mystery, part Historical Fiction; this book had me turning pages as quickly as I could. Ramunno holds nothing back in her descriptive tale of a detective investigating a murder of one of the doctors in Auschwitz's 10 block. A block dedicated to experimentation, including the office of Dr Mengele - the Angel of Death - whose obsession with twins and genetics was truly sickening.

Detective Hugo had hoped none of the horrifying rumors circulating in Berlin about Auschwitz was true; but the more time he spends in the camp, the more horrors he encounters.

This book was well written, and excellently paced.
