"I Was Anastasia" by Ariel Lawhon (Historical Fiction)

In I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon, on July 17, 1918 Valimir Lenin orders the entire Romanov family to be killed!  Germany, February 17, 1920, a young woman is pulled out of the water.  She looks like one of the daughters of the Romanov family.  Could this be?

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres so naturally, I thought this book was really well done.  It goes back and forth in time, but that only builds up the suspense.  There is good action that kept me turning pages.  I enjoyed the two dogs in the story very much!
(Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

Teaser from page 37:  "What do we do now?" I ask, my voice temulous with exhaustion and growing fear.  Jimmy, ever sensitive to my moods, presses his cold, wet nose against the back of my hand.
