Blurb:
Stealing from the Russian mob is Zoya’s only chance to support her little brother. Until someone kills her accomplice.
With Russia’s sexist law banning women from working as auto mechanics, Zoya turns to small time cons. But luring gullible drivers into staged crashes and car repair scams doesn't bring in enough to rescue Zoya's little brother from their toxic mother and build a life away from Moscow’s underworld.
Out of options and desperate, Zoya agrees to partake in a heist risky enough to put her life on the line. When the heist mastermind is murdered, Zoya must find out whether it was the crime boss they were targeting or one of the other accomplices. If she doesn’t figure it out fast, she’ll be the next to die.
Before she can walk away from the plan and run for her own safety, tragedy strikes her family—and now she needs the heist money to find out if her brother is even alive. But to survive the heist, she’ll first need to uncover who killed her friend and determine who she can trust. Easy, right?
Except the truth can be more deadly than a Russian mobster’s gun.
A dark and twisted page-turner with a spine-chilling whodunit in its heart, The Girl From Moscow's Edge is perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and Robert Dugoni.
My Review:
The Girl from Moscow's Edge is an exhilarating beginning to Nadya Frank’s new series, Zoya Volkova Russian. I relished every moment of it and am eager to read the next installment.
From the very first page, I was captivated by Zoya’s journey. I am excited to discover more about Zoya, her younger brother, and their circumstances. It seems Zoya is on the verge of getting involved with some quite perilous individuals.
Zoya is doing her utmost to look after her younger brother, who resides with their mother, a woman fond of vodka. Her little brother wishes to live with her, but her current situation is not suitable for a child.
Zoya is a mechanic, but there is a law in Russia that prevents women from working as mechanics. Therefore, she finds ways to survive by taking on jobs that are not entirely legal.
Some very threatening individuals approach Zoya with a lucrative job offer. What choices will Zoya make? Will she take the job? Is she making the right call? Could her decision cost her more than she is prepared to lose? If she accepts the offer, she might be able to rescue her little brother from his present circumstances and provide him with a better life far away from their mother.
Zoya stumbles upon her best friend, Vadik, lying on the shop floor, his face brutally injured. Zoya does everything within her power to uncover who killed her friend. Every step of her inquiry drags her deeper into peril from those responsible.
The Girl from Moscow's Edge continually pulled me into its narrative with each page turn. It kept me on the edge of my seat, filled with suspense over who was behind the murder of Zoya’s friend.
The Girl from Moscow's Edge is a highly intriguing and engaging tale that had me enthralled from the very start. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all fans of murder mysteries! Be sure to grab a copy today!
