Helpful Score: 1
This book from the author of Gorky Park was not what I expected. I almost stopped listening to it early in the first CD because of that but decided to hang in a bit longer - by midway of the 2nd CD I was hooked! It was really a great book with an interesting and very different perspective. Riveting and engrossing with unexpected twists and turns - definitely recommend.
Great story in an unusual setting. Period detail is excellent along with usual fine character development from the author. Abridged but they did a good job.
