Especially with today's constant access to news and the rest of the world thanks to social media, it is unfathomable that the family was so clueless.

I kind of wish Flemming had talked a little about the mystery regarding their bodies and their eventual discovery, but I suppose that wasn't really the purpose of this book. I also really loved how she mixed in so much information about lower class Russians and what they were experiencing at the same time the Romanov's were out cruising the baltics.
