review 1: I really like this series, which I believe this is the 3rd installment in. Hermes is a large man who is not at all what you see when you go to Greece and see statues of him, but in this book that is what he is. He is not so much a detective as someone who investigates the motivation behind a crime. Then he reports back to the powers that be. I like the magical realism wrapped into a murder mystery.
review 2: The story begins with a bride jilted on her wedding day, and a doctor who has been blinded. No one, including the doctor, wants the crime to be investigated. But the mysterious 'fat man' from Athens turns up, and he deosn't leave until he has solved the crime - and the crime that led to it. There's a Greek chorus of characters, and Zouridi captures the
... moreatmosphere of this small town, with the new mayor who is trying to make his mark. A good story. less

Clever plot and incredibly well crafted, oozes real Greece from every page, and Hermes is a joy.
