Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith is a thriller set in Stalin era Russia where the government insists that crime doesn’t exist. The story has a quiet, methodic pace that gives the reader a visceral feel for a very bleak period in Russian history and the actions (or inactions) of its characters. A treat for fans of both thrillers and historical novels.
