This story took place in the wake of the "fall" of communism. However, much intrigue is played out by the various police/intelligence agencies trying to assume control in the "new" Russia. Too much politics and not enough actual police work/mystery solving. I won't be reading anymore in this series. 305 pages ( ) Another good entry in the Rostnikov mystery series, though not a standout addition. The author adds a few new characters, and introduces us to post-Soviet Russia and the headaches and frustrations that accompanied the change from socialism/communism to democracy, or at least the appearance of that switch. Recommended. As I, along with other fans of Stuart Kaminsky, mourn his passing in the fall of 2009, I find myself thoroughly enjoying yet another of his Inspector Rostnikov novels - The Death of the Russian Priest. This particular book in the series was important to me, as I had left the country just a few years prior to "perestroika" and "glastnost" and missed on all the commotion and tragedy and renewal that period brought, so it was interesting to read about what was going in the country at that time. I love Inspector Rostnikov. For me, this humble, wise, considerate, sensitive yet strong protagonist personifies everything that can be good in a male character. I am looking forward to 5 more books, as I read my way through the series. And I am greatly saddened that Stuart Kaminsky is no more to delight us with new work. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
