Product Description

Product Description

A naked teenage girl is found dead near the beautiful Byzantine Yoros Castle in Turkey. She has stabbed herself through the heart but there is evidence of bizarre sexual practice. In another part of Istanbul, a young boy sems to have committed suicide in similar circumstances. What dark rituals could have compelled them to fatal self-abuse? Inspectors Cetin Ikmen and Mehmet Suleyman follow an internet trail that leads them to an underworld of Goth nightclubs and Satanic worship. But even those murkey shadows hide more than they reveal and the answers to an ever increasing number of suspicious deaths is more shocking and terrible than they could ever have imagined.

I'm afraid I have to agree with "Bupster" on this one. I like the Istanbul setting of Barbara Nadel's novels, and her cast of characters, rather soapy that they sometimes are, but Ms Nadel seems to have struggled with this one: the "magical" elements just left me cold, the plot was as a result uninteresting, and the characters didn't seem to have any real lives of their own. I'm reading the series in order, so I'm hoping that "Deadly Web" is just a blip and that the series will quickly return to form.

Dated and a bit silly 29 Jun 2009
By Bupster
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love the series, but this particular outing left me cold. It beggars belief that a book published in 2005 could still be tramping through the well-churned mud of internet newsgroups and technophobic police officers. The last book I read that was so laboured when it came to information technology was published in 1997. This instant datedness aside, the book also suffers from the character of Inspector Ikmen both being shoved to one side and being cast as someone who openly believes in another man being a "magician" - with no explanation. In earlier books his 'feelings' about cases were gently ascribed to his mother being a witch without stretching credibility too much - in this book there seems to be an assumption from the beginning that the reader has bought into this. I didn't, and found it both annoying and credulous.

As I say, I loved the series and love Istanbul, but how this outing won an award bewilders me. Definitely the weakest of the lot - reminds me a little of how Ruth Rendell became gradually unreadable as she got older and crankier and filled every novel with Daily Mailesque vitriol. At some point, as an author, if you don't understand something, you have to accept that might be your fault, rather than write about it like it's mystifyingly incomprehensible to anyone over the age of 25.
