I just love Barbara Nadel`s books. She builds always an intriguing plot- a mystery riddle,almost impossible to solve but of course,not for the talented officers from the Istanbul police.

Along with the crimes they solve,we get a glimpse of their personal lives and stories which evolve with the time. So the reader gets the feeling that those characters are people familiar...more

An interesting procedural set in contemporary Istanbul that provides memorable characters and a vivid slice of life in that city. However, the villain is so obvious, so straight out of Central Casting, it seems impossible for the police to take so long to identify him. Both the villain's obligatory boasting of his crimes and the denouement are extraordinarily protracted.

I love Turkey so I was very excited about this book, a mystery set in modern Istanbul. My excitement was short lived however. I didn't enjoy the book until I was almost finished with it. Not sure I could even recommend it to anyone.

Difficult to get through, but a decent book about Modern Istanbul, though horribly formulaic and slow.
