    Murder in Mykonos
    A somewhat derivative mystery that is fast moving and suspenseful. Surprisingly stilted dialogue and an unfortunate emphasis on the tortuous ordeal of the latest victim mars what is a fast paced exercise in the race the clock thriller genre. In the end this page turner will please readers looking for this type of "edge of your seat" reading experience.
  • Lawrence (River Vale NJ)
    Murder in Mykonos
    Mykonos is a resort island off the coast of Greece and bad news would devastate the local economy. So in this “Jaws” like thriller, with a little "Silence of the Lambs" thrown in,newly appointed chief of police Andreas Kaldis must find a serial killer, and do it without driving away the tourists. Kaldis must probe beneath the sunlit surface to catch this predator. He will meet with the usual lineup of possible suspects. Each makes a strong first impression but then fades before they can take a place in our imagination. A thriller ending doesn't disguise the fact that the depths least probed are those of the characters.Those who have been to Mykonos might enjoy Siger's depiction of the island but the pedestrian writing made it a slog to the end.
  • Jeanine (Ormond Beach FL)
    Return to Mykonos
    The character development in this book is not
    very good. You don't feel like these are real
    people. The plot is ok but I don't like mysteries
    where the murderer is revealed in the first
    chapter. I did enjoy his background descriptions
    of Mykonos and I thought he did a good job of
    using Mykonos as a setting for the murders.If you
    like mysteries revolving around other counties
    law enforcement agencies you'll probably enjoy
    this book.
