The assignment seems simplistic, but Alex soon discovers that it is anything but as she is forced to crisscross across Europe, through a web of intrigue, danger, and betrayal. Soon the legend and mystery surrounding the relic becomes complex with claims of supernatural powers.
Many have already lost their life for this museum piece, and Alex could be next. Will she find it before the villains?
Midnight in Madrid is the second book in The Russian Trilogy though it seems to easily stand alone. I didn’t have the luxury of reading the first book in the story, so I really have no idea what is a continuation and what is not, but there are parts of this story that feel unfinished, possibly leading into the third book in the series.
The story is fast-paced and has very well-developed characters. The historical research and details in the book appear to be right on target, with a lot of information included about the Spanish Civil War. There is quite a bit of violence in the book, but the scenes sometimes can be quite scary. If you enjoy reading suspense, don’t miss Midnight in Madrid.
