“Ekaterinburg” by Helen Rappaport. It narrates in detail the last two weeks of life, the brutal massacre and horrific treatment of the bodies of the last Russian emperor, Nicholas II, his family and close servants. It’s very good.

“Sin in the Second City: Madams, Ministers, Playboys, and the Battle for America’s Soul” by Karen Abbott is the story of the most famous and in some ways influential brothel in USA history, along with changing norms around sex work and puritanical policies, and a glimpse into a lost chapter of both female empowerment and oppression.
