A young woman on holiday to Mykonos, the most famous of Greece's Aegean Cycladic islands, disappears. No one notices, until a body turns up on a pile of bones under the floor of a remote mountain church. Then the island's new police chief -- the young, politically incorrect, former Athens homicide detective Andreas Kaldis -- starts finding bodies, bones, and suspects almost everywhere he looks. Just when it seems things can't get any worse, another young woman disappears. With the investigation now a rescue operation, Andreas finds himself plunging into ancient myths and forgotten island places, racing against a killer intent on claiming a new victim who is herself determined to outstep him.
Reviews with the most likes.
I like that there was more thoughts in the murderer's head and less of his actions. There is some about it, so there is some graphic violence. However, we don't get lots of blood or fluids.
Overall, it was less mystery and more race to get the bad guy. I knew who the murderer was pretty quickly. There was a twist at the end and I'm not sure how I liked it. I came away feeling like Greece is pretty dangerous, but considering all the American crime fiction I assume many things are over exaggerated for the purpose of the book.
I did LOVE the strength of the victim! I will be reading more about Chief Kaldis
