Sherlock Holmes was my entry point into the murder mystery genre, then kids-friendly-sans-murder mysteries such as Enid Blyton’s “The Famous Five”, Robert Arthur Jr.’s “Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators”, and Stefan Wolf/Rolf Kalmuczak‘s “TTKG”. Afterwards, there were some names, some were new, obscure, and some even haven’t got their well-deserved international recognition.

One of them is Frank Tallis’ “The Liebermann Papers”. Now, perhaps saying that this work is obscure would be an insult. The man has a Wikipedia page, so he should have some kind of recognitions at the very least (yes, I’m shallow like that.) At the same time, the books never really took off in Indonesia. I rarely seen, if ever, The Liebermann Papers series back when I was still living in Indonesia. I only ever got two books from the series: “A Death in Vienna” and “Vienna Blood”. Both are translated to Indonesian and I got them years and years ago.

So imagine my surprise seeing this on BBCPlayer.

Double that with “THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO BOOKS?!” Yes, I just found out there are more than two books about Max Liebermann and Oskar Rheinhardt.

Anyway. Another series that I’m looking forward to! Might be another hole for me to dig as I’m (mindlessly) spending money to buy the books at Kinokuniya.
