This book gets you, the reader, hooked from the get-go. This is Ms Holt's first book, and she is a fine writer. Is this a mystery novel, a spy novel, a coming of age story, a relationship story? Perhaps all of the above. For me, it was ultimately about dealing with unfairness in life and finding the ability to move on. There are also many fascinating insider details about Russia's transition from totalitarian communist state through the 80s and 90s towards present day's "New" Russia. It's a very interesting, very well written story. Thumbs up!
