reception

to Klotz, death and the absurd
  • “Written quickly, not emphatically funny, but rather funny. The exciting plot is authentically researched and ends with a surprising twist. ”( Colon , December 2010 edition)
zu Klotz and the untalented murderer
  • "Christian Klier's Commissioner Klotz is rough and smart at the same time, is not a high-flyer, but a person who has mistakes and makes mistakes. And who suffers from the fact that, being divorced, he cannot be a real father to his son. That makes him likeable, even if he pretends to be a stinky boot. ”(Friedrich G. Stern, Nürnberger Zeitung, July 16, 2012)
  • “In his private life, Klotz is not exactly up to date from an educational point of view when he is sent to a Nuremberg high school as an undercover investigator and is supposed to take over the German class of a murdered teacher. Klotz and the untalented murderer is the title of Klier's latest book, but untalented educators also have their charm. ”(Pauline Lindner, Fränkischer Tag, October 27-28, 2012)
to Klotz and the treasure in the silver lake
  • “Christian Klier surprises the reader with a bizarre, maybe even grotesque story from the Nazi porn scene (yes, there should be something like that). Men who walk through Nuremberg in SS uniforms during the day, mummified corpses that appear in advertising pillars and concentration camp prisoners who give the dark side of the 'city of Nazi party rallies' a face, these are just some of the unconventional ingredients of a novel that is self-deprecating satirizes the genre and still holds on to it with a wink. "(Udo Güldner, Nordbayerische Nachrichten of October 23, 2013)
  • “Murders in a Nazi uniformed dirty scene, that would have been too little for Klier for his story and, as he himself says, it would have 'not done justice to the subject'. So he weaves in a second plot: the story of the mummified corpse of a concentration camp prisoner. An opaque interplay that lets the reader ponder until the end and makes the subject particularly attractive. "(Marion Christgau, Bayerischer Rundfunk, April 2, 2014)
to log and the flowers of evil
  • “The new Klotz thriller is intelligently built and told in an exciting way, with lots of biting mockery and macabre humor. In the end, the events come thick and fast in a rather abstruse, unrealistic construct - as usual with crime writers. . . "(Michaela Höber, Nürnberger Zeitung, November 14, 2014)
to JACK
  • “The Cern physicist Matthieu Savary invents time travel - and he is directly hired by the British secret service to investigate the identity of Jack the Ripper. Tess Riley and Christian Brandt take speculation about the London serial killer and knit it into an action-packed novel. "( 3sat on September 8, 2015)
