I did review both books, and I liked the series. I’m also looking forward to the Greek Detective books. Looks like we both discovered a new series.

Hi Lesa!

I found out about Siger’s books only recently, after I’d already started this review. I thought about swapping books because Murder in Mykonos would tie in directly with my pics but I’m happy to feature Zouroudi’s series. The fat man is an intriguing character and I look forward to the other Greek Detective adventures.

I’m going to check out Siger’s books, too. Did you review them?

Thanks, Shell! Coming from a gifted artist, that’s saying a lot.

Hercule Poirot & Agatha Christie both came to mind while I was reading this. Then I learned that Zouroudi started with Christie’s books when she began reading crime fiction.

My eyes! I think I just went blind with envy. That does look like the perfect way to tour the Greek islands. Thanks for the link.

Loved the pictures. I have an ARC of the book, and those pictures make me want to read it even more. So, you haven’t read Jeffrey Siger’s Murder in Mykonos and Assassins of Athens? Murder in Mykonos takes place in all of the churches. I think you’ll love the descriptions from an author who actually did move to Greece.

OK, people, when do we leave? We’ve got Greece, Paris, where else?

They sailed on the Star Flyer. Less than 200 passengers. On a clipper ship in full sail sounds like a perfect way to get around the Greek Isles, eh?

I was so smitten with your slideshow, I had to read your post again to remember what I was going to say. You take beautiful photos, PCN. I know, I know, you have something nice to work with, but even so… and extra points for the gratuitous Colin Firth shot.

As for this book, it sounds wonderful! For some reason, Hercule Poirot popped into my head when you mentioned the fat man so I smiled when you went on to say Zouroudi’s style is evocative of Agatha Christie’s.

I think you’ll really like this one, Donna. And thanks for saying that about my pics!
