Some would say it’s slow, but personally I enjoyed the pace. I was looking for some post-Soviet Russian literature and this book delivered well. The suspense was a bit confusing at first, but I think it could be on purpose. The book reflected a lot on death. Loved the gloomy atmosphere sprinkled with some dark humour here and there. Great book for some winter reading.
