More of a novella than a novel
This book is ridiculously short! An Arkady Renko novel is always worth reading but I feel short changed with this one. And there's some sloppy writing: a bear which is 9 METRES high! Obviously it should be 9 feet. Enjoyable enough, but over too quickly.

Bear ly believable
Super storey as usual from Martin
It gives you a fine look at Siberia and its countryside and weather
The storey holds you to the very end

Disappointing
Weak plot with cop out finish.
Pseudo-Russian American accented narration detracted from what story there was.
Not up to his usual standard.

Wecome back, Arkady
The further and continuing story of Arkady Renko, the best investigator in fiction. Terrific story, excellent characterisation, spoiled only by the less than stellar reading. Never disappointing as a story teller, Martin Cruz Smith has not failed to hit the mark yet again.

Half Baked Alaska
A soggy pudding of an Arcady Renko novel. I love this series about the maverick Moscow detective but not this one. Great research - Russian prison life; life in the frozen heart of Siberia; the overwhelming and overweening corruption underpinning Russian politics, business and power (and Putin) and the police but overall filled with scarcely believable scenarios of bear attacks; survival in the frozen wasteland of the oil snowfields; crashed and sinking helicopters on Lake Baikal from which only Tatiana escapes.... and he gets the girl in the end. I think the fatal flaw is that you either write a novel or a polemic but not try to conflate the two. The narrator tried his best to differentiate between the characters’ Russian accents but sometimes not easy to follow.

Disappointing 😞
Sadly, I found this particular Arkady Renko detective novel, flimsy and disjointed. I battled to finish it.

Diminishing returns.
I love Renko but this is a pale imitation of what he once was in the earlier novels. The last couple of outings were tepid, this was flat out poor. Some good characters (new and old) wasted in a paper thin plot with nonsense ending.
