The Werewolf of Bamberg by Oliver Pötzsch
3.0
Plodding story filled with historical details
I have read the previous books regarding The Hangman's Daughter and they seem to fluctuate between fast moving and plodding. This tale didn't pick up until about 60% into it. While I find the historical information interesting, the slowly moving story line and almost over abundance of background and characters made this installment a very slow read. The final answer was interesting, the way the main characters showed growth was also intriguing, but I certainly felt the same story could have been told in fewer words and more precise scenes. These criticisms may be due to the fact these books are a translated work and something may be lost in the translation. A tight and gripping work could become plodding and loose. I have enjoyed previous works in the series more and picked this up based on my previous enjoyment of the characters and wanting to follow their lives.
