Product Description
Product Description
A body is discovered in a cave in the remote region of Cappadocia, Turkey. The woman died of gunshot wounds, and her corpse has lain undisturbed for twenty years. Inspector Cetin Ikmen is summoned from Istanbul to investigate and discovers a complex web of intrigue. Was she killed by her boyfriend, driven mad by love, or her husband, believing she would never bear the son he wanted so badly? When it is revealed the girl was pregnant when she died, the whispers and accusations increase. Ikmen, stifled among a rural community thriving on folklore and intrigue, begins to think he will never see clearly through the lies surrounding this case. One thing, however, is clear: the past is as potent as the present.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Contrived but readable,
By thegoodbook (Sevenoaks, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dance with Death (Inspector Ikmen Mysteries) (Paperback)
This was my first Nadell novel. The abiding impression of the book is the flavour of Turkish society and relationships rather than Istanbul or Cappadocia, where frankly we didn't get much beyond the fairy chimneys, fairy chimneys and yet more chimneys.The ending was disappointing. I didn't mind the coincidences - it's rather part of the detective novel genre - but one of the two plots didn't come off, I think.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Another great read and insight into the problems of a country still divided by different traditions and approaches to the 21st Century.

Another enjoyable Inspector Ikmen novel,

This review is from: Dance with Death (Inspector Ikmen Mysteries) (Paperback)
Though these books do not come into the realms of truly great literature they are thoroughly enjoyable crime fiction and this one, set mostly in the weird landscapes of Cappadocia, is no exception. Having myself travelled with Turkish friends extensively in this area I thought she had captured the atmosphere and oddness of the place perfectly.
If you have enjoyed any of the other Inspector Ikmen books then certainly give this one a go.
