Feb 02, Lisa rated it really liked it. This is the first book I've read from Orest Stelmach, and I'm pretty impressed. This is a well written story, with great characters and story development. The story unfolds smoothly, with lots of intrigue, mystery, action, drama and even romance will make it hard to put this read down. I'll definitely be reading more from this author.

Simmy asks Nadia to investigate the brutal murder because her mother is one of Simmy's old friends. Nad This is an edgy murder mystery, set in modern Holland and Belgium. Nadia goes undercover as a "window prostitute" in the red light district and gets a clue that leads her to Bruges, a historical city in Belgium. From there the story takes off on a race to find the killer. There's a spectacular and exciting conclusion to the hunt for the killer. However, the most shocking event is after that and includes an appearance by the Russian president.
There's plenty of political rhetoric in the story about modern day Russia and the views of Russian immigrants who have left the country. The Dutch hate the Russians and give them a hard time. Nadia is Ukrainian and wears her ethnicity on her sleeve. This is the 4th book in a series featuring Nadia and Simmy and this is the only one I've read up to now. I think this one can be read as a standalone, although some things may be more meaningful to a reader if they have the Nadia?
Simmy backstory from previous books in the series. The relationship between Nadia and Simmy has apparently developed over earlier books and it is as much part of the story as is the murder mystery.

There's a bittersweet ending in this book which affects their relationship, although the groundwork is laid for the series to continue. Nadia is the most interesting character in the book and her story makes reading the book worthwhile. She's a smart cookie and willing to do the tough stuff to get the job done.
The undercover work as a window prostitute is a good example of that. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a review copy. Apr 01, Janet rated it really liked it Shelves: Nadia Tesla will do anything to get the job done. Or so she thinks. She possessed an electric appeal that attracted people from all walks of life, including the most powerful. The stakes for Nadia — and the world — are much higher.
In her first stand-alone case as a private investigator, Nadia Tesla uncovers the clues along murky waterways from Amsterdam to Bruges and on to London in her quest for truth, life and love. This book is a stand-alone entry in the Nadia Tesla Series that requires no prior knowledge that said, I agree as it was easy to get into the story without too much background information. Now I want to read the rest of the Tesla books: Jun 10, Abhinav Ka rated it liked it. It was with a lot of excitement and anticipation that i bought an ebook of The Treachery of Russian Nesting Dolls.
In fact, it's the first ebook i'd ever bought. I am a big fan of the Nadia Tesla series and have read the first 4 books on the trot. However, this time around, Orest Stelmach disappoints. While the plot is okay, it is a massive departure from the story line in the first 3 books. Nadia Tesla is in charge of investigating a murder - that's what the book is all about. Literally, it is It was with a lot of excitement and anticipation that i bought an ebook of The Treachery of Russian Nesting Dolls.
Literally, it is a sleaze-fest, punctuated with grammatical errors. But not even a better editor would have saved the book. What is missing in the story? Nadia is so disconnected from the events in the previous books that I often wondered if it even belonged to the same series. And to cap it all, the ending is too dramatic. Sorry Orest, for the bad review, but you had promised a lot, with the previous books in the series.
While the other books were adventures, this one is merely an afternoon nap. Why the 3 stars? Because I love Nadia Tesla. Jan 17, Lauren rated it really liked it. This was the first book I read by this author and it definitely will not be the last. I have not only gotten the first book from KU with audio!! I thought the characters and locations were fantastic. The descriptions of the Russian and Ukrainian characters rang very true to me as I have spent quite a bit of time in that region in the past.
My main regret is that I had not read the earlier books in the series before reading this one. As it is the fourth in the series there were things I felt I was missing in terms of some relationships, etc. The lead character of Nadia Tesla is great, and I am really excited to read the other books now. The beginning was certainly interesting! Nadia Tesla, an Ukrainian-American private investigator? This is the 4th in a series but it also works well as a standalone.
The book is extremely fast-paced; everything seemed to happen really fast, so there weren't any noticeable lags in the plot.

The ending was crazy, definitely on the unbelievable and melodramatic side; however, it was extremely entertaining. Reflecting on this book, I keep coming back to the fact that the writing wasn't stellar, and there was nothing about the characters or the plot that made this book a standout thriller for me. In short, it was an enjoyable, light, fast-paced read, but I don't think I'll be able to remember much about it a few months from now.
Thank you Netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Constant tension and red herrings galore as American financial analyst and all-around brillant sleuth Nadia, hired by a Russian emigre billionaire, digs deeper into the young dead woman's circle and finds herself in ever-increasing danger.
My first book by this author, but I have now purchased the three previous novels to read more about Nadia and her dangerous globe-trotting. I received a complimentary advance copy of this book; this is my voluntary and honest review. I was unable to share my thoughts with readers on Amazon because my submitted review just went into the digital Bermuda triangle. May 27, Celia rated it it was amazing. Both books were good reads, and I really liked this one, which was hard to put down.
