    About this audiobook

    Red Square, 1985. The naked body of a young man is left outside the walls of the Kremlin, frozen solid-like marble to the touch-missing the little finger from his right hand.

    A week later, Alex Marston, the headstrong fifteen-year-old daughter of the British Ambassador, disappears. Army Intelligence Officer Tom Fox, posted to Moscow to keep him from telling the truth to a government committee, is asked to help find her. It's a shot at redemption.

    But Russia is reluctant to give up the worst of her secrets. As Fox's investigation sees him dragged deeper towards the dark heart of a Soviet establishment determined to protect its own, his fears for Alex's safety grow with those of the girl's father.

    And if Fox can't find her soon, she looks likely to become the next victim of a sadistic killer whose story is bound tight to that of his country's terrible past . . .

    Moskva is a brilliantly written, chilling, and sophisticated first serial killer thriller by two-time BSFA winner Jack Grimwood.

      A chilling thriller set in Moscow during the so called Cold War.A serial killer is on the loose and it's a race against time to capture him.I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Penguin / Michael Joseph via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.
    • 4/5
      I found this a gripping read, as a fan of John le Carré's espionage thrillers. Like in Rowling/Galbraith's novels we're rooting for the investigative work of a damaged man with a murky military background. Here, Tom Fox is hiding from his recent work in 1980s Ireland. To avoid awkward questions about a recent shooting, he's sent to Moscow. His military experience is called upon by embassy staff when the daughter of the ambassador goes to a party and doesn't come home. Grimwood has written literary work under a slightly different name, provides plenty of detail about 80s Moscow, from vodka shortages to Tetris addictions. There are charismatic Russian supporting characters, with complex reasons of their own for getting involved in resolving the young woman's disappearance, both personal and political. Throw in a historical backstory tying the 80s action to the siege of Leningrad and the Russian capture of Berlin, and I've finished the read hoping for a sequel.
