The Doctor of Thessaly: A Seven Deadly Sins MysteryThe Doctor of Thessaly: A Seven Deadly Sins Mystery by Anne Zouroudi


A jilted bride weeps on an empty beach. A local doctor is attacked in an isolated churchyard. Trouble arrives at a bad time to the backwater village of Morfi, just as the community is making headlines with a visit from a high-ranking government minister. Fortunately, where there's trouble, there's Hermes Diaktoros, the mysterious fat man whose tennis shoes are always pristine and whose investigative methods are always unorthodox.

Hermes must investigate a brutal crime, thwart the petty machinations of the town's ex-mayor and his cronies, and try to settle the troubled waters of two sisters' relationship. But how can he unravel a mystery that not even the victim wants solved?

Set against a radiant Mediterranean backdrop, THE DOCTOR OF THESSALY is a spellbinding mystery about the dark consequences of envy.(less)

A very captivating story line. It kept me curious, wanting to find out what happened next. Found the authors' description of the characters so well detailed, which made the novel much more enjoyable. Enjoyed the white shoe detective I think the most! In general it was a terrific novel. I really enjoyed reading it.
