I suppose I should hold fire reading this then so they are not out of sequence.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-884003698209046762013-01-27T17:20:12.742+00:002013-01-27T17:20:12.742+00:00I only wish that it was possible to buy a copy of ...I only wish that it was possible to buy a copy of the DVD that was made of the book. It has some great battle scenes and these can be seen on YouTube.

I think that Turkish Gambit is the second in the series although possibly it was the third to appear in English. There is an element of the set up of the novel coming from the end of Anna Karenina which one might not fully appreciate unless one had read the first in the series; and of course Anna Karenina. Akunin's trick of writing each of the novels in a different prose style is very impressive.
