This is the fourth Fandorin mystery by Akunin that I've read. They are romantic in the classic mystery style, like a Sherlock Holmes story. Certainly they need some patience, but they lie in the sweet spot that formula mystery series rarely find: familiar enough for comfort, unique enough not to seem cliche, without being unique for the sake of being unique.
