Summary

In Moscow a serial killer is on the loose - taking his victims' hair as a souvenir, carefully removing the buttons from their clothes. For Militia Colonel Dimitri Danilov, a good cop with a bad personal life, catching this madman is a matter of pride. But then the killer brings the U.S. government into the case. The latest victim is an American embassy economist, the beautiful niece of a powerful U.S. senator, and a woman with kinky secrets of her own. Now Danilov must team up with elite FBI agent Bill Cowley. And for the two cops, finding the killer will suddenly become much more than a job.

Washington v Washing Machine

In depth investigation into tangles at The US Embassy in Moscow, involving practically everyone inside, their sexual proclivities, several shop soiled Russian officials and pressure from US politicians at home after a series of murders. So much dirty laundry washed and rewashed. Like Cluedo for adults, this tale is complex enough to tax most brains. Dick Chasey lol.

Good narration, but for a story that includes Chapter breaks, it was confusing to switch between the "killer" and the other MCs in the same voice in the same paragraph (a clue?).

The length of the book allows the listener to be fully engrossed, which is very enjoyable and satisfying. ENJOYABLE

Not a bad story but hard to listen to

The book is quite good but the reader was terrible. He seems to have learnt his east european from a hotel transylvania and even his American accent sounds fake. He managed to make all of the book like a text to speech app . Still the book came for free and it was not a bad tale.

Unfortunate narration for UK listeners

I enjoyed the story and was kept engaged throughout, however for UK listeners the some of the accents that the narrator uses are far too close to the accent used for an insurance comparison company's adverts. The whole book was populated by meerkats for me

An Excellent Thriller

This is the psychological thriller I've been waiting for. The two main characters go against the stereotype by being self reflective rather than emotionally wounded, and the politics of a Russian/American investigation add to the complexity of the plot. Although this is a murder story, the details of the crime are not dwelt on excel as evidence.
