Really enjoyable police procedural. I have not read any police books set in Russia before so that added to the story.. It also had a strong female protagonist. Of course she pursued the case even at risk to her career and marriage so another overly obsessed detective. It seems there is a book prior to this in the series that I now look forward to getting.

There's a lot of corruption in this story,drinking and corruption.
It seems the higher up the ranks you are,the more corrupt you're likely to be.
Not being Russian,I didn't quite understand the different departments to supposedly uphold the law.
I now know not to trust most of them. 😁
Good central characters,a plot that nicely tied strands together that didn't look like they belonged anywhere near each other.
Interesting read.
My only real complaint was I found the pace a bit slow at times.
