Liked It!
How do authors come up with these fantastic ideas?
Great central characters, but way too many family members
to keep track of! That said, I have purchased book #4.
I spent two weeks in Greece in 1985 and still have great memories!!

The Greek Island Mysteries.
These books easily qualified for there five stars each real!y.
The main characters Iolli and Costa's Papacostas. Were full
well bodied individuals. Committed cops partners proud to
be lead homicide cops in Greece, Athens and tne Island's.
The meat and bones fictional wonderful stories.
The extremes of the seasons the love pride beauty and honesty reflected in the lands and its people, was divine.
The books cheered me. They were thoughtful funny and playful. Loved it all. Am off to find more. Certainly worth having a look at, I think you will also love this author and his works. I'm hoping Luke Christodoulou is as avid a writer as I'd love to be of reading many more his stories's.

Good stories but...
Terrible proofreading/editing. Many many wrong words: ‘expects’ when it should be ‘experts’, for example. Some odd usage of punctuation. In the Bride story, is the father’s name Cosmas or Cosma? No clear majority. And WORST: he got the book 1 genetics wrong.... two blue-eyed parents can only have blue-eyed children. Brown-eyed can have either brown or blue. (Sorry, book 1 mystery NOT solved.)
Worst part: the author is an English teacher!

Loved these books!
I found myself yearning to visit Greek island after reading these books. Very descriptive writing. The author has a great writing style and got right to the story. I was drawn in right at the first few pages can't wait to read the rest of the series. Highly recommended!

I got through 2 books, but will not read the third. The plots are fairly entertaining and engaging, but there are just too many editing mistakes. Sometimes it felt like it had been translated into English from another language, which is forgivable. But, unfortunately, this is just sloppy editing.

Based in Greece with a lot of local character. Interesting murder mysteries with gruesome crimes. It kept me riveted until I finished the set.
Thoroughly recommended and lookin forward to more books by the author.

Great murder mystery
I grew up reading Agatha Christie, the words painting scenes in my mind. I've missed reading her, but think I've found something that reminds me of her work!

Great series! The first three books by Luke Christodoulou..
I thoroughly enjoyed this series of mystery books set in the Greek Islands. The series reminded me of the beauty and culture of Greece when I visited Greece. Books tend to be rather graphic at times. I definitely would recommend the books and author.
