Mein Kampf, obviously. The author leaves the suspense about who the Jews are until the very final page and --- OH SHIT1?!!i just ruined the ending for yas

Women do not read historical mystery. They read Historical Fiction "romance" (Coom books for 30 somethings). That's why they like period novels. They secretly crave the era where they were just property.
