Move over Zorba the Greek!

The Threshing Circle by Neil Grimmett

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A Greek tale of kidnapping, vendetta, and tragic love

This thrilling mystery gives the reader facts about the turbulent history of Crete while unraveling a poignant tale of love and betrayal. The threshing circle was once a place where farmers prepared grains from their harvest, staged plays for entertainment, and the bloody arena were enemies fought, perhaps to the death. In modern day the enemies are cleverly hidden but the battle is just as dangerous.

The talented author takes his readers on a journey through history, exploring the truth behind a family's shame as we feel the pathos of a tragic love story. We become enchanted by the vivid characters, the fiery Scottish redhead, the cagey old Greek, and a full cast of supporting characters. As they search for the kidnapped English couple, a story of bloodshed and survival is revealed, and lives hang in the balance. Who can we trust? Who will survive the battle in this threshing circle? This book is worth reading.
