Format:Paperback
Having read all of the authors previous books set in Instanbul, I was really looking forward to this one. I found it very disappointing, I felt it was too ambitious, and the plot quite unconvincing & contrived. It lacked rigour, intoducing too many disparate elements to cover in any depth. The introduction of Inspector Ikmen's prodigal son, was very far fetched. I apologise to those of you, whom like myself are Nadel fans, but I felt so disappointed after finishing the book, I wanted to share my views.

Barbara Nadel's novels about the Istanbul detective, Ikmen, just get better and better each time. I would thoroughly recommend this series to anyone who either enjoys a good detective novel or to anyone who knows Turkey. The author has a great insight and understanding of Turkey and Turkish culture.

A few people seem to have found this a difficult story but to my mind it was one of Barbara Nadels' better ones. It makes a change to go to other parts of Turkey for the stroy, why must it always be Istanbul? I learnt about places I knew nothing about, customs and a strange pagan religion (which is not invented) and other fascinating things of which I knew little or nothing. I felt that the character of Inspector Taner was brilliant, one of the best characters apart from beloved Ikmen, that has featured in her books. She was depicted as a woman of passion, depth and feeling. I found this book very moving and very spiritual in a way and Mardin sounds a place I would love to visit. Barbara never ceases to surprise her readers and it's a shame that there are some who can't abide a change from the pattern. That's when books become formulaic and eventually boring.
