Andrew and I have just finished reading Boris Akunin's novel Leviathan - another great read from the Russian crime novelist. Leviathan is a variation on the theme of the classic English detective novel - a terrible crime, a set number of possible murderers all on board a gigantic cruise ship, a bumbling French detective, and the dashing Russian diplomat Erast Fandorin on hand to unmask the villain. It's funny and it's clever and the translation is extremely skillful. We recommend!
