more of the Library from A to Z

Finished reading THE LAST INNOCENT HOUR by Margot Abbott. It's a pre- and post- WW2 story involving a young woman who returns to Berlin after the war as a photograph investigator trying to help capture and prosecute Nazis. Her story becomes complicated when it's revealed that she had been married to an SS officer before the war. Most of the book is about this time in her life and explains why she is doing this job. It is a totally heart-rending and gut-wrenching story. I have read so many books lately that have dealt with war, power struggles involved in war and the aftermath of it all. One of these days somebody is going to say enough! When will that happen? Being humans I don't think there ever will be an end. I think there are a few evil people out there who just can't help themselves and thank goodness there are more good people to compensate. But the good ones are usually the ones who pay the price of the small amount of evil out there. I do recommend the book. There is a part that is extremely brutal that brought me to tears, but the final outcome was good.
