When I first found this on the shelf, it had just come out. I was interested in unique crime fiction and this fit the bill.
I am not terribly much interested in historic Russia but the author sucked me into this world with his character. This is one of those books that you really should try. Give it 30 pages and see if you don’t also get sucked in!
My only dislike was the ending. The climax was over much too quickly. A technical flaw that hopefully the author will correct in future novels.
5 stars!
Interested in more crime fiction? Try He Drinks Poison, a gripping thriller.
