The book has an intense and exciting story. I also thought the characters were strong. The author had several characters and managed them well. The pace of reading was impressive, and the story had plenty of mystery. The book was compelling. I enjoyed the story and found the book very entertaining.

'Orphaned Leaves' by Christopher Holt is a unique book because it is written from the perspective of a SS commander of the Reich. SS Brigadefuhrer Ernst Frick later to become Otto Brandt is the protagonist of this book. After murdering a red haired woman with a fox fur he is haunted by his deed. His guilt follows him through life. He also feels guilt because of his part in the Aktion, an operation involving the gathering and murdering of Polish Jews during the Holocaust. I found this book intriguing because I never thought about the men behind the heinous crimes during WWII. This thought provoking book gave me a new perspective on the life of this SS Commander. I recommend this book. I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
