Helpful Score: 1

This tale of the search for a mass murderer in the Soviet Union is chilling for two main reasons: not only the obvious, the horror of the victimization of children, but also the fear of living in a police state. Every move being monitored, people imprisoned, tortured, and killed simply because a neighbor says they are subversives. This is masterfully written, very suspenseful, and the characters finely drawn. Twists and turns in the plot make it even more enjoyable, especially surprising near the end.
