Murder In Mykonos by Jeffrey Siger
The first book in a new commercial crime series staring the sexy homicide detective Andreas Kaldis, with each book set in a different Greek city.
A very enjoyable and atmospheric book, which captures very vividly the Greek way of life * Eurocrime *
Impressive debut. . Siger's view of Mykonos (where he lives part-time) is nicely nuanced, as is the mystery's ambiguous resolution. Kaldis' feisty personality and complex backstory are appealing as well, solid foundations for a projected series * Publishers Weekly *
Siger . . . captures the rare beauty of the Greek islands in this series debut . . . His sense of place recalls Donna Leon's Venetian series, but his portrayal of rape and murder is all his own * Library Journal review *
Siger's intimate knowledge of Mykonos adds color and interest to his serviceable prose and his simple premise. The result is a surprisingly effective debut novel * Kirkus *
Readers will be well pleased . . . * Stephanie Zvirin, Booklist online *
Thoughtful police procedurals set in picturesque but not untroubled Greek locales * The New York Times *
Mr. Siger is one of those rare writers whose finger is always on the pulse of modern day upheavals. He is never afraid to tackle and expose uncomfortable subjects - subjects most writers avoid...An authoritative and compelling voice, Mr. Siger is a master storyteller * New York Journal of Books *
