Book #3 in the Figure Skating Mystery Series
Bex Levy is a researcher for TV network 24/7. And murder appears to follow her around…. This time she has to find out who killed an ice skating coach during the run-up to a competition in Moscow. Igor Marchenko defected from the USSR to the States in 1977 and this is the first time he's been able to return home. But he soon turns up dead, poisoned by a pair of gloves. And once Bex does the rounds, she finds out that plenty of people had reason to bump him off.
AXEL OF EVIL is a pleasant, good-humored book. Bex has some sharp lines, and I laughed aloud at the scene in the commentary box where she's sitting between feuding husband and wife presenters.

In this third skating mystery for Bex Levy, the researcher for the 24/7 TV network is on location in Moscow. Skating champion Igor Marchenko first shot to fame when he won the only American gold figure skating medal at the 1982 Winter Olympics. Resident in the States since he defected there in 1977, he has returned to Mother Russia as coach to the 2005 U.S. Ladies' Silver Medalist, Jordan Ares, who is competing in the "U.S. vs. Russia A Figure Skating Challenge" event. But when he collapses during a practice and is discovered to be dead, Bex has to find out whodunit and why before an international incident is caused... even though the reasons, once uncovered, might well be big enough to cause one...
Alina Adams certainly knows her stuff (being a real-life TV researcher just like her heroine) and this shows, always a good thing…. There is some fine satire in here, and Alina Adams is adept at portraying typical skating types and typical skating fans. Perhaps what I enjoyed the most here was the delineation of modern Russia, and the vast difference between the country today and how it was back when Igor defected to the US…. The whole (plus the fairly intricate plot) makes for a good tale to please a skating fan who enjoys a good whodunit too.

As always, the author puts her insider knowledge of the skating world to good use, filling in the background and participants with very realistic details. A new Bex Levy mystery is a real treat; so settle in for an evening of skating, murder, and entertainment.

In 1977 Moscow, fourteen years old Russian figure skating superstar Igor Marchenko defects to America. A few years later, he wins the only American gold figure skating medal at the 1982 Winter Olympics. After he retired Igor became a coach, but never returned to his homeland until now at forty-two years old, as coach of the 2005 U.S. Ladies' Silver Medalist, Jordan Ares competing in the "U.S. vs. Russia: A Figure Skating Challenge" event.On the first day of practice in Moscow Igor collapses and dies in the Natzionalnaya Arena. 24/7 Sports Network researcher Rebecca "Bex" Levy agrees with officials MURDER ON ICE occurred. The evidence points towards Igor's long time American rival Gary Gold, coach of Jordan's prime U.S. challenger Lian Reilly. However, Bex thinks that is hometown judging so she makes inquiries of the Russian skating team and the facility management and staff. As Bex skates closer to the truth, she finds herself ON THIN ICE from an unknown assailant.
The third Bex Levy figure skating cozy is a terrific tale that highlights the changes since the late 1970s between Russian and American relations subtly displayed by two New York Times headlines (in the novel that is): 1977's "Defection" and 2005's "Murder". The first showcases the glee and despair of the Cold War adversaries while the second represents the western media's present ability to investigate what happened to Igor. As the evidence piles up making Gary the golden suspect, only Bex has doubts as she looks at who else would have motive; anyone in the facility had means and opportunity. Fans will score Alina Adams with 9s and 10s for her superb figure skating murder mystery.

Axel of Evil Enhanced Multimedia Edition Figure Skating Mystery Book 3 eBook Alina Adams Reviews
The Good
Nice inside looks at the figure skating world, and Russia, which was cool.
Good mystery, a couple of nice twists, cold war intrigue, & skating politics.
The Bad
I would get tired pretty quickly of the emphasis on ice skating, but they appear to only be one a year, so I could deal with that.
The Verdict
It's apparently the 3rd in the series--I'll have to check out the earlier ones.
