review 1: I liked the murder mystery aspect of this book, along with the history of the Romanovs and the Winter Palace. My biggest problem with it was the depiction of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. The author makes her out to be an abrupt and unhappy person who is ignored by her husband, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich. From everything I've read about Elizabeth, she was much loved by the Russian people because of her charity work, and when her husband was assassinated, became a nun and formed a convent. The book just didn't fit with what she has been described as. But other than that, it was a fun little book.
review 2: I was beginning to think this series wasn't all that great, but this is definitely the best book of the series I've read. Maybe it's because ... moreit has to do with 2 Royal families form England and Russia and the grandiosity of it all. The novel seemed to focus more on the various side plots of the other characters besides those associated with the Scotland Yard. It also wasn't as gory as the murders portrayed in previous books of this series. It was nice to see Davey have a bigger role in getting entrenched with those plotting while Emma wasn't as irritating as I've found her to be in the past. less
