it was amazing

A chilling alternate history that poses the question: what if Hitler won? A German investigator named March tries to solve a murder, but what really rivets the attention is the world he takes for granted. This is a world where the German Reich has swallowed France, England, and Russia, President Kennedy (Joe, not JFK) is meeting with Hitler to declare a pact between nations, and a typical personals ad in the newspaper reads "Pure Aryan doctor desires male progeny through marriage with healthy, Aryan, virginal, young, unassuming, thrifty woman; broad-hipped, flat-heeled, and earringless essential." March makes a riveting hero, cool, remote, detached, and no fervent Nazi which is unhealthy in Hitler's Berlin, and his stubborn investigation into a routine murder uncovers the appalling buried truth of what happened to all of Europe's Jews. This is a book to read in a growing daze of horror; you will flip the last page with a shudder of thanks that this world, if just barely, didn't happen.
