Review of 'The Secret Speech (Leo Demidov, #2)' on 'Goodreads'

I enjoyed this book much more than the first, primarily for the way it ties into the history. It was also much less dark, which is a plus - I don't mind reading about a gulag, I just wouldn't want to live there. I've added the next sequel on "to read" - not sure where he will take these characters.
