About this listen
'One of those writers that anyone who is serious about their craft views with respect bordering on awe' Val McDermid
'Makes tension rise through the page like a shark's fin’ Independent
***
Three bodies found frozen in the snow. And the hunt for the killer begins…
It begins with a triple murder in a Moscow amusement center: three corpses found frozen in the snow, faces and fingers missing. Chief homicide investigator Arkady Renko is brilliant, sensitive, honest, and cynical about everything except his profession. To identify the victims and uncover the truth, he must battle the KGB, FBI, and the New York City police as he pursues a rich, ruthless, and well-connected American fur dealer. Meanwhile, Renko is falling in love with a beautiful, headstrong dissident for whom he may risk everything.
A wonderfully textured, vivid look behind the Iron Curtain, Gorky Park is a tense, atmospheric, and memorable crime story.

Classical
A fantastic story. The investigation procedure dominates the first half of the story which slowly opens into an emotional and heart wrenching finale.

Intriguing plot, but off-putting narrator
Rather intriguing plot throughout; I enjoyed that. But the basis for the murders is not so compelling, in my opinion, leading to a less satisfying story.
Narrator was expressive, with a strong deep voice, but didn’t differentiate sufficiently between some characters, making it difficult at times to distinguish characters in dialogue. Also, you can hear the narrator swallowing at times, which can be a bit gross.

Just a good listen.
This is a great book and an enjoyable listen. All the more incredible when you consider the author had not been to Moscow at the time of writing.
