I enjoyed this for the history rather than the mystery. The latter seems to exist almost as a backdrop for the former, rather than vice versa as often happens. However, the historical fiction is well done, so read it for the engaging description of life under Stalin. If you're looking for a great mystery or thriller, look elsewhere.
