Original story, well-told
A new detective is on the scene -- part Hercule Poirot, part Count of Monte Christo. The plump and white-shoed Hermes Diaktoros has come to the island of Thiminos to unravel the mystery of a woman, found dead at the bottom of a cliff. The police don't like him. Neither do many residents. No matter. His techniques, counterpointed with the thoughts and actions of the island's residents, gradually unveil the answer, and everything counts toward the denouement. This is the first of several books by the author with Diaktoros, so get in on the ground floor with The Messenger of Athens.

a good read
Untapped locale, interesting culture, an eccentric detective, ironic plot twists, a good start for what may be an excellent series.
