Historical Fiction - 3.5 stars - This is a really interesting book. Part sci-fi, part adventure, it is the tale of one woman and two men who attempt to solve a political mystery full of cruelty and intrigue. I really want to pick up the second volume to see what happens. It took a little bit to get into it (and I took a break for Jean Brodie), but for the most part, it was a quick and interesting read.
