I agree with a previous poster: Child 44 is a much better story set in Russia. Gorky Park was too convoluted and, frankly, boring for my taste. I didn't care about any of the characters. ( )

Police detective fiction about the Soviet Union. I don't recall any details but do remember I liked the read. ( )

After the investigator's partner and their main witness are both brutally murdered minutes after the break-through interrogation, and the only tapes of the interrogation are stolen, I should be GLUED to this book. Instead I can't stop checking the page count to see how close I am to the finish. And that's all I've got to say about this book.
