About this listen

St. Petersburg, 1903. Prince Dimitri Markhov counts himself lucky to be a close friend of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra. Cocooned by the glittering wealth of the Imperial court, the talented architect lives a life of luxury and comfort, by the side of his beautiful but spiteful wife, Princess Lara. But when Dimitri is confronted by the death and destruction wrought by a pogrom, he’s taken aback. What did these people do to deserve such brutality? The Tsar tells him the Jews themselves were to blame, but Dimitri can't forget what he's seen.

Educated and passionate, Doctor Katya Golitsyn is determined to help end Russian oppression. When she meets Dimitri at a royal ball, she immediately recognizes a kindred spirit, and an unlikely affair begins between them. As their relationship develops, Katya exposes Dimitri to the horrors of the Tsar's regime and the persecution of the Jewish people, and he grows determined to make a stand - whatever the cost.

Not My Favorite

Although filled with his usual wealth of historical information I didn't enjoy this book of Mr. Belfoure's as much as his previous works. His other books dealt more with architectural secrets and schemes. This had none of that which is what I look forward to in reading his books. I was disappointed.

Slow start but gets better

A very slow start up to about chapter 4 or 5 with mainly introductions of characters that is unnecessary as far as I'm concerned. Once the story actually starts is much better.

Predictable

Having read the author's three previous books, which I enjoyed, I found the story line thin and the action predictable. The dialogue in several chapters was repetitive,

Supremely boring

Very boring book. Loved the Paris Architect & had high hopes for The Faberge Secret but this story is full of cliches. The author can’t seem to find his voice. Very disappointing.

Disappointing

While historical recounting in this fictional book is very good, the author is very heavy handed in steering the reader to reach the ‘right’ conclusion. Also, the awful Russian accents by the narrator are grating.
