Set in turn of the century (1900) Imperial Russia. An Impressive start& a new twist as we have the story this time being narrated by the butler of the Imperial household with the Romanov's being front & centre of the mystery. As usual the master of disguise (former) state counsellor Erast Fadorin is the star of the show but it’s the butler who plays a great second fiddle to Erast on their romp across Moscow to foil a gang of villains. The opening scene revolves around the upcoming “Coronation”, no surprise there really but from there on out there’s intrigue, plots, misdirection & subterfuge aplenty. That’s yer lot, no spoilers from me.This series gets better n better, a real gem for mystery lovers with a historical fiction leaning.
