Narration Conducive To Books Коронация, или Последний из романов (Erast Fandorin Mysteries #7)
Set in turn of the century (1900) Imperial Russia. An Impressive start& a new twist as we have the story this time being narrated by the butler of the Imperial household with the Romanov's being front & centre of the mystery. As usual the master of disguise (former) state counsellor Erast Fadorin is the star of the show but it’s the butler who plays a great second fiddle to Erast on their romp across Moscow to foil a gang of villains.The opening scene revolves around the upcoming “Coronation”, no surprise there really but from there on out there’s intrigue, plots, misdirection & subterfuge aplenty. That’s yer lot, no spoilers from me.
This series gets better n better, a real gem for mystery lovers with a historical fiction leaning.

The seventh novel of the Erast Fandorin series, we fast forward to 1896 Moscow, just prior to the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II. It does wonderfully well in capturing the atmosphere of late-nineteenth century Russia and the decline of the 'great' houses and families of the empire.This time, the narrator is Afanasi Ziukin, head butler to the family of one of the new Tsar's uncles. Drawn into events after the kidnapping of a young prince, Ziukin presents a flawed vision of events and tense
Darn those russians & their melancholy endings!!!!i wasn't too keen on the ending.i like the Erast Fandorin character & his sidekick Masta. and the mystery was well done. the bad guy slips up w/a tiny clue which i caught at the same time as the detective in the story so that was cool.I did most of the previous ones in this series on audio which helped b/c of the Russian names & all the details in them. there were alot of characters, I found myself getting lost as to who was who. The
At various times I've read the whole series that's been translated into English so far, and consider this episode the best so far. Narrated by the butler to one of the Romanov royal family, this tells of the coronation of Nicholas II--really, the kidnapping of one of the sons, a little boy, Mika, and the efforts of Fandorin, the butler, Afanasy, and others to rescue him and to keep out of the hands of the archcriminal, Dr. Lind, the Orlov diamond, which will play a part in the coronation. As
"The Coronation" is a mystery set in May 1896 in Moscow. It's the seventh book in a series. You don't need to read the previous novels to understand this one, and this novel didn't spoil the previous novels.The viewpoint character was a butler for the Grand Duke Georgii Alexandrovich. He spent a lot of time thinking about his butler duties in the first part of the book. While interesting, that did slow the pacing for the suspense and mystery. The series heroes are not viewpoint characters, so we
One of the better ones in the series
