The Romanov Conspiracy: A Thriller by Glenn Meade
5.0
I was utterly hooked by this thriller. Like just about anyone, I have always had a passing fascination for the Romanov family and the mystery and intrigue that surrounded their end. Glenn Meade weaves quite a tale in this story of...
I love how Meade writes a mystery where the answer is not quite complete. The realism of the story, the human qualities of the characters, all made it seem like this conspiracy could have actually happened. It flits in and out of the mysterious fog that has always surrounded the family and it massacre.
I found was kept thoroughly intrigued throughout the book, and my only complaint would be for how long it took the characters to actually start off on their journey toward Yekaterinburg. The early parts seemed to drag along, only for the pace to quicken when the conspirators finally reached the city.
The mystery surrounding Anastasia Romanov and whether she survived the murder of her family or whether she died with them has puzzled people for nearly a century now. Though the mystery seems to have been solved with the recent discovery of two bodies near Yekaterinburg, it's as Meade pointed out in the final pages of the book - there is no complete certainty about it.
This book has it all. Romance, adventure, tragedy, good, evil. It's definitely for anyone who loves a good thriller, and for someone who enjoys historical fiction of this subject.
