Description

Since July 1918, no one has been able to solve the mysterious disappearance of Princess Anastasia—until Dr. Laura Pavlov uncovers some haunting clues in this thriller by the acclaimed, bestselling author of The Second Messiah.

Dr. Laura Pavlov, an American forensic archaeologist, is about to unravel a mystery that promises to shed light on one of the twentieth century’s greatest enigmas. Digging on the outskirts of the present-day Russian city of Ekaterin­burg, where the Romanov royal family was executed in July 1918, Pavlov discovers a body perfectly preserved in the permafrost of a disused mine shaft.

The remains offer dramatic new clues to the disappearance of the Romanovs, and in particular their famous daughter, Princess Anastasia, whose murder has always been in question. Pavlov’s discovery sets her on an unlikely journey to Ireland, where a carefully hidden account of a years-old covert mis­sion is about to change the accepted course of world history and hurl her back into the past—into a maelstrom of deceit, secrets, and lies.

Drawn from historical fact, The Romanov Conspiracy is a page-turning story of love and friendship tested by war, and a desperate battle between revenge and redemption, set against one of the most bloody and brutal revolu­tions in world history.

    Cardboard characters, cliche dialogue, an improbable plot. I quit a third of the way through. Not worth the time or money.

    I felt that the story was on the boarder of being great. There were just several things that held it back. For one, there were too many characters and many that didn't need to be included. Also, there are a lot of plots and stories to get through before the novel starts moving. At on point I was reading a flashback within a flashback within a flashback. unnecessary. I felt the novel as a whole could have been cut by 200-300 pages but I enjoyed it once it got going. Lots of interlocking stories that I found fascinating. The facts seemed to be well thought out and plausible which I was thankful for.
