Reviews for Murder in Moscow
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Posing as a governess for the chief of the Russian secret police in 1918 Moscow, Fiona is accused of murder. Can she and Kitty discover the real culprit and escape the Kremlin alive?
This is a fast-moving, plot-heavy book with a lot of moving parts. Fiona gets into one scrape after another. The book feels more like a spy thriller than a mystery. I enjoyed the quirky cast of characters. While the book can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the series in order.
The audio narration was very well done, especially given all the different accents.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
