The highly anticipated Book Five of the #1 bestselling The 39 Clues series. A strange telegram lures fourteen-year-old Amy Cahill and her younger brother, Dan, deep into Russia and away from the only trustworthy adult they know. Signed with the initials NRR, the telegram launches a race to uncover a treasure stolen by the Nazis and the truth about the murder of the last Russian royal family. All too soon, the treasure hunt starts to smell like a Lucian trap. But the bait might just be irresistible . . . what will Amy and Dan risk to find out what really happened on the night their parents died?
Reviews with the most likes.
I have to say that this is the best 39 Clues book thus far, but it still only gets three stars. I liked the way Patrick Carman made our protagonists team up with a previously hated group of antagonists. It added a sense of dread (will they be double-crossed?) and a sense of surprise (I had no idea I would actually like those characters). I must say that I wondered several times if Carman stayed true to the character traits that the others before him had painted for this particular crew because they seemed too soft from how they had been portrayed before.
