Thrills and chills
Not only does the author give an informative look at what life is like in the Soviet Union, the storyline keeps you guessing. You never quite know what's going to happen next as you turn the pages and get lost in the story. There were lots of characters with foreign names, and it challenged my mind to keep up with them all. There was one way the plot twisted towards the end that I really didn't see coming. If you like espionage thrillers, you'll like this story. There's also a bit of romance, too.
