First a disclaimer. I received this eBook as a member giveaway through LibraryThing. I had asked for it simply on the strength of the title, as my partner has a bit of a fixation of Russia, speaks the language and has had long trips there twice when younger, and I was hoping for a book which gave one a feel for the country.I didn't get any sense of the country, as it could be set anywhere, you just have to substitute that country's local criminal gangs, police/army and characters' names for the ones here and it would read just as well.Having said that it is a reasonably well plotted little romantic thriller, sort of an up-market Mills and Boon (not that I've ever read one but it's what I imagine they'd be like), although I did guess the "twist" at the end less than a third of the way through the book.Overall a pleasant enough way to waste some time.
