I read this on a recommendation from a friend after sharing my enjoyment of a traitor and a spy. I thought this book and story was fantastic. It was gripping, emotional, illuminating, and haunting.

I enjoyed the ride from the rise of Brower to the emotional ending fighting for justice. For better or worse, I was disgusted with what happend but am better for it.

The last chapter of this book alone gave it 5 stars. Wow.

Honestly, the first half of this book was really hard to get through - it was relatively finance focused and frankly really quite draining to read about how the rich got richer. I kept wondering to myself why EVERY SINGLE one of my friends rated it 5 stars - I'm so glad I stuck through it.

Yes, this story might've been about Russia, finance and murder. But more poignantly, it's about justice, integrity and humanity.
