The disconnected timeline continued to be annoying, especially since there were so many similar characters in the Eastern Front section that I couldn't keep track (intentional so that you couldn't guess who the baddie was, but still frustrating). Eventually the timelines merged and the story raced towards the climax. Coincidentally, this was the third Nazi era mystery I've read this month and the point of view of Norwegian soldiers fighting on the German side at the Eastern Front was fascinating. I enjoyed the second half of the book and will carry on with the series.
