I enjoyed this first book in the Erast Fandorin series. I liked how Fandorin noticed inconsistencies and how he interacted with his boss and with the suspects. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, The Turkish Gambit.

I’m so close to the end of this book and yet it is like it will never end. I skim pages eager for the surprise!ending. I do not like this book very much.

i did not like this book.
