I'm about halfway through Stettin Station by David Downing because I'm sucker for anything set in the 1930s/40s. Downing's series has an Anglo-American longtime expat in Berlin, a journalist who gets mixed up in espionage and mystery mostly to hold out hope of protecting his son and girlfriend in a doomed Germany. The details are good and the characters drawn well enough, but Downing frustrates me by often introducing too many subplots that have equal stakes. It's the same with this one, but I'm entertained and I'm sure I'll read the next one.
