Query: More textbook than novel

I was so disappointed in this book that I ended up skimming the last half (and I NEVER do that with books). I have been reading a lot about the Romanovs in the last few years, and was interested in the possibility that there might have been a rescue or at least the plans for one. This book, however, only teased with that promise. Instead it was pages of unmemorable Russian names and narrative that read more like a Congressional briefing. I actually prefer the non-fiction genre, but this book was beyond that. If you are expecting cloak and dagger or if you are expecting an elaborate plan for the rescue of of the Czar, you may be disappointed.
