This is a fictional interpretation/rendition of the mysterious last days of Tsar Nicholas and his tragic end. This is a fast read that will entertain you before you get too bored. There's a twist at the end that doesn't *quite* fit in with the entire story (who exactly is The Voice of the kitchen boy?) so if you dislike loose ends in stories, you won't like this book. Personally, I was more distracted (and annoyed) by the author's attempt to sound like Dostoyevsky.
