|title=A Naked Singularity
|author=Sergio De La Pava
|rating=3
|genre=Crime
|summary=You probably know that when you start a review of a book by quoting someone else that you are not really going to have anything original to say about it. Sometimes that's because it's already been lauded to the skies and you agree with every published word.
 
Sometimes it isn't.
 
''Casi's voice is astonishing'' is one of the blurb quotes. I agree. It's just that you can still get tired of hearing it.
 
And I did.

|summary=October 2011 and the Berlin wall is still intact. Inspector Martin Wegener of the East German People's Police faces another day dividing his mind between thoughts of his luscious ex-lover Karolina and work.

Not only is he hanging, the deceased has eight knots round his neck and his shoe laces are tied together: a Stasi trademark. Who is he and why are the Stasi killing again? Martin needs answers and they're sending a West Berlin detective in to help him find them; not the best start to a day.
