The Black Circle by Patrick Carman

Really enjoyed the info about how Rasputin died. Very interesting. As were the conspiracy theories that almost painted Rasputin in a good light (odd, since I always assumed he was the "bad guy" in the story, thank you Anastasia).

A mysterious person has the Amy and Dan on the next flight to Russia. They find the Holts but make a deal with one of them to help each other.

They delve into Romanov history. Rasputin is made out to be not so bad. Uh, nope, thinking that's a BIG fallacy.

It wasn't a bad book, but there was a what if that was so illogical that it was a bit much for me.

It was very enjoyable to read. I loved the way Amy and Dan's characters were still being developed without taking away from the joy of the clue hunt we were reading about.

Another solid effort in this series, probably is my favourite of the first five, contained a lot of history abotu Russia which was interesting. Still couldn't give it over 3 stars though.
