Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith
5.0

Such a brilliant book. I'm not sure whether it was my love for historical fiction, Soviet Russian History or intelligently written crime books that did it but I could not put it down. Yes it was gruesome at times but so was Soviet Russia and the author does an excellent job of portraying this. And that's coming from a history student! Before I'd even finished the book I had to order the other two in the series - can't wait to read them.
