The Altar Girl by Orest Stelmach
3.0
It's easy to create a strong, intelligent, fearless heroine. It's much harder to figure out the story of how she became that way. But that's what Orest Stelmach attempts to do in The Altar Girl.
Like the other Nadia Tesla books, this is a murder mystery, interspersed with events from Nadia's childhood. It twists and turns and keeps you guessing, like a mystery should. Unfortunately, for me, it simply didn't have the tension that that made The Treachery of Russian Dolls so difficult to put down. It's by no means a boring book, but it was a bit of a let down.
Basically, it's an enjoyable book, but it's not Orest's best.
