A review by gautamsing
The Death of Achilles by Boris Akunin

3.0

Though there is a murder, its more of a spy story. What I liked was the description of the 2 heroes (yes, both the investigator and the murderer turn out to be heroes). The plot though was weak. The protagonists (Czarist political leaders, business oligarchs & senior bureaucrats) are supposed to represent contemporary figures from Putin's Russia, but I don't know enough about it to figure them out.

I may try another one of the series to give it a chance.
