Recensione:

Employ[s] the fast pace of a thriller and the ability to make a remote historical episode personal to the reader. (Booklist)

The combination of Alexander’s research and his rich characterizations produces an engaging historical fiction that offers a Rasputin who is neither beast nor saint, but merely, compellingly human. (Publishers Weekly)

For readers who like their juicy scandals topped with a hearty dollop of history, Alexander serves up a satisfying portrait of a court in its last throes of decadence and intrigue. (The Washington Post)
