Must get around to it someday. However I'm endlessly dismayed that The Turkish Gambit is the gateway to the Fandorin series for English speakers because it's actually a sequel to the first novel in the series, known as The Winter Queen, in translation (Azazel in the original Russian). It's the conspiracy novel and it sets up Fandorin's entire charterch and the origin of his particular habits, etc. In addition it also has some bearing on the plot climax of The Turkish Gambit. I don't think you can truly understand Fandorin's character without reading the first novel.<br /><br />You can however, enjoy the individual detective novels if you're not into delving into the personal motivations of actors and just want a fun read.The Feathered Rosehttps://thefeatheredrose.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-31761601455834830822015-04-27T11:50:02.198+01:002015-04-27T11:50:02.198+01:00As I was saying - an unscrupulous man might have a...As I was saying - an unscrupulous man might have a look on YouTube.
