A review by lizlogan
The Child Thief by Dan Smith

3.0

This book was recommended to me as something I would enjoy after reading Child 44. Although they both take place in similar areas of the world and both have to do with murders of children, history of Russia (and the Ukraine) post-Alexander. I preferred Child 44, but this book wasn't bad. I could have been happy if I didn't finish the book, but I saw it through to the end. The hunting aspect was interesting, but overall I just could not get into the book. It was overly long and unnecessary. Nothing lost and nothing gained from this book.
