The Siberian Dilemma by Martin Cruz Smith

3.0

Not bad, just not great ... by Martin Cruz Smith standards. Seemed a little thin ... thin characterizations, thin plot, thin context, thin page count. Not to mention a frustrating over-reliance on unlikely coincidences to carry the plot forward. The author's note in the back mentions that his editor proposed the story idea, so perhaps it just never really clicked in MCS's head in the way that would have allowed him to really fill it out and bring it to life?
