review 1: From wikipedia (not my review):Critique of Criminal Reason is an English language crime novel written by Michael Gregorio, the pseudonym of Michael G. Jacob and Daniela De Gregorio, two scholars teaching in Spoleto, central Italy. It is set in Königsberg, during the height of Napoleonic wars, in 1804.It details the attempts of a young Prussian magistrate, named Hanno Stiffeniis, to catch a murderer who has committed a series of grotesque and unsettling murders in the city. He is aided in the task by a sergeant of the local police, Herr Köch, and together they create a pair of heroes slightly reminiscent of the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson tandem. Of note is the historical character of Immanuel Kant, who also takes an important part in the investiga... moretion.
review 2: The book was a quick read. Gregorio did a wonderful job capturing the sights sounds and smell of Koningsberg, Prussia. The character development was good, but I didn't like the lead character. I also think Kant came off more of a crazy old man than the genius he once was. My favorite character was then killed off. What disappointed me was the plot. I thought it could have been developed better. I was expecting more from this period piece and it disappointed me in the end. less
