Rezension zu „The Mastersinger From Minsk “
The second Hermann Preiss novel by Morley Torgov, set in 19th-century Munich, is even better than the first makes for a great story. - The Globe and Mail (Toronto, ON; circ: 313,378), New in Crime Fiction review by Margaret Cannon, June 2, 2012 Its a dangerous business for a novelist to mix real history and imaginary crimes. The combination of the two almost demands that the story be treated with a touch of humour, but that doesnt mean the author is allowed to get cute on us. Torgov has just the right feel for this kind of writing, never coy, solid with his history but not allowing the facts to get in the way of a good joke. - The Toronto Star (Canada) June 2012 Torgov deftly conveys the transcendent power of Wagners music through his novel, if far-fetched, twist to the convoluted plot. Its worthy of Hitchcock in the way it uses the interpretation of a song as a plot device rather like Die Meistersinger itself, for that matter. - The Whole Note (Canada) June 2012
