Curse of Rasputin: A Samantha Duncan Mystery (Samantha Duncan Mysteries Book 1)
In this debut novel, Daisy Thurbin introduces the reader to Samantha Duncan, retired Oxford Don, expert art historian and neophyte investigator. Samantha is part Miss Marple, part Lara Croft and all business in this fast paced mystery. This superbly crafted and researched page turner incorporates the mystique of Rasputin with the very topical search to restore the Imperial Romanov treasures to Mother Russia. The action moves between London, Moscow and St Petersburg as the intrepid Ms Duncan fights off villains with the help of her ex-priest brother-in-law and her much married American cousin. This is the first in what promises to be a terrific new mystery series with characters the reader will want to meet again and again.
