review 1: A readable and exciting whodunit.Police officer Andreas Kaldis is a bit disgruntled when he is transferred from Athens to the tourist island of Mykonos in the Aegean, from investigating murders to being a nursemaid to tourists is not an exciting prospect. But soon there is a report of a dead body, found in the crypt of a rural church, apparently of a young woman. The case becomes more urgent when another young woman, a tourist, disappears, and it appears that the police on Mykonos have a serial killer to look for.But there are political complications. The mayor of Mykonos does not want the news to leak out -- nothing must be allowed to frighten away the tourists on whom Mykonos's prosperity depends, When the police start to trace the movements of the murdered girl, and tho... morese who last saw her alive, there seem to be too many suspects, and at a crucial point in the investigation, most of the suspects disappear without trace. There are a few plot holes and discrepancies in the story, but none of them serious enough to get in the way of enjoying a good read, if you like crime fiction.
review 2: Although this is a good story, fiction, of course, I was disappointed to find out, there are no old mines, in Myconos, not two thousand or so little chapels, The folks, tourists and locals usually behave decently, apart from a little boozing up! What I found out though, is that their mayor and deputy mayor is in jaiAwaiting trial for misappropriation of public funds!! And that there are 32 majestic beaches in this little island! Want to buy a lot in Myconos? No problem!A something say, 50x100 feet lot, only a million euro!! The island of the Gods! less

This was an interesting detective/ 'who done it' book with enough twists to keep one guessing.
