The Moscow Club

This is an espionage story with historical background. It is extremely suspenseful. The twists and turns are numerous. A makes exciting reading.

I enjoyed this involved thriller. The story starts off at a medium clip and is easy to follow. As it proceeds, the pace is so fast that the elements become a little blurred. Of course, many of the premises seem far-fetched, but a good exciting read. Will read more of Finder's books now.

The Moscow Club arrived very fast, and in good condition.

There's a very good story here, underneath the countdown and the silliness and totally unbelievable shlock. It's far too padded with intricacies that have no real depth and that takes away from what could have been a great espionage story, suspenseful mystery. Instead we get a lot of little details that don't add anything and lend a sense of overwrought melodrama. That said, it's fun to read Finder in what seems to me should be his element. Sadly, in this case, I think he just missed the mark. That said, it's not bad, just not the book I had hoped it would be.

An entertaining book with lots of mystery and action/adventure. Russia often intrigues me and this helped me touch that. But with Russia, I never see 'culture' and often get a sense of survival mode. This has a lot of that. Who has written of the mystery of the apples of the silk route? This is written in a reasonably current era and not of the Khans times.

Joseph Finder is a fabulous writer who knows how to weave great dialogue through complex charactors and spectacular action scenes. This author is very skillful at moving through the adventures with detailed backgrounds that are interesting and never boring. Will be reading all of this books

Joseph Finder is a great story teller, and this effort is entertaining. I thought, however, that the plot suffered from being a little confusing. The story is about international political intrigue, and it was difficult to unwind why things were happening they way they were. It's a long book, so the confusion drags on.

Joseph Finder is one of my top authors and have read all of his books that are on Kindle. His first book was only in paper edition until now. I pre-ordered it and was amazed how his book described the fall of Russia very closely to how it eventually happened! At the end of the book, I also found out the author must have a very large and close family because of the many kudos that went out to them for the making of this book! A future book could be called "Finderville". I'm sure your neices & nephews were very proud to take your book to school on "book report" day! Look forward to many more books and the the exploits of his characters.

I've got to now read every other book that Finder's written. What an eye-opener, about spying, about the USSR, and the CIA, in general. Loved his writing. Kept me on the edge of my seat. I was so fascinated with his story, I could barely put it down to sleep. An absolute must-read.

Exceptionnel book, couldn’t put it down.

Great book. This author is superb. Crime , mystery and political intrigue all in one.

I found this novel to be a very good read. I could hardly put it down as I wanted to find out the answer to the riddles set in it. However it seemed to be a very long read.

I really enjoyed this espionage thriller, which, like the best of the genre, weave the elements of the novel into real life events. This book does the weaving exceptionally well, with the key plot elements dealing with plausible current time implications of Stalin's death. Not quite Charles McCarry or John LeCarre, but very promising.
