THE OLYMPUS KILLER
'EVIL UNDER THE GREEK SUN'
If this summer you are thinking of travelling to the majestic, sun kissed Greek Islands, think again. A sadistic killer is on the loose.
The Olympus Killer...
Over the picturesque Greek Islands, bodies are piling up fast. Bodies tortured, mutilated and strangely connected to ancient Greek mythology. Hellenic Police Captain COSTA PAPACOSTA is called in to assist young, top of her year, foul mouth, food loving Cretan, Lieutenant IOLI CARA in solving their most complex case yet, while facing his own demons after the tragic loss of his daughter.
The OLYMPUS KILLER, as the tabloids refer to him by, is a cunning, sadistic murderer with a haunting past.
Will the two officers catch the murderer in time or will the Olympus Killer have his revenge?
A model with arms brutally chopped off...
Twins decapitated and their heads used to form a sun and a moon...
Papacosta and Cara are always one step behind the killer all the way to the shocking end!
THE CHURCH MURDERS
The picturesque Greek Isles are once again unsettled by death...
Hellenic Police Captain COSTA PAPACOSTA and Lieutenant IOLI CARA are back, faced with four brutal cases all strangely connected to the Greek church.
A reporter investigating the existence of a Gospel written by Jesus himself is found stabbed to death on the island of Salamina while a lawyer and a young girl have gone missing.
In Santorini, the most beautiful of all Greek islands, bodies are piling up fast. Murder after murder, our officers are left puzzled. All the clues are there, but who is the killer?
The Ionian islands. Seven islands, seven bodies. Suicides or foul play?
Ioli’s lack of faith is tested by a boy experiencing stigmata on the island of Kefallonia. Could his marks be for real?
Time is against the two investigators and lives are on the line...
Join Papacosta and Cara on a roller coaster of emotions, death and faith.
DEATH OF A BRIDE
Of all the plans a bride makes in anticipation for her wedding day, dying is definitely not one of them.
The Zampetaki mansion, on the remote island of Gadvos, welcomes dozens of guests for the grand wedding of Cassandra Zampetaki and Homer Cara. It's a wedding that will never take place. The bride's lifeless body is found, brutally murdered, on the morning of the wedding. Planned to look like an open-and-shut case, the mastermind behind it all did not figure on Hellenic Police Captain Costa Papacosta and Lieutenant Ioli Cara to be among the guests.
A storm rages outside and no one is able to leave the island. In a battle against time, the dynamic investigating duo must solve this intense case before the guilty party can depart from the island.
Everyone is a suspect and no one is safe.
Join in on the thrilling mystery and try to solve the crime. The clues are all there...
MURDER ON DISPLAY
The sun rises on the picturesque island of Folegandros, revealing a young girl's headless, mutilated body impaled on an antenna pole for all to see.
Lieutenant IOLI CARA is sent to assist with the seemingly open-and-shut case. But, there is more than meets the eye...
A mysterious lover, an angry brother, an ex-boyfriend, a special needs classmate... all minute pieces of a greater puzzle.

Greece, 2017. A country on its knees due to the on-going economical crisis.

This collection of police procedural murder mysteries left me wanting more in the series but the fifth book rules that out. I grew attached to the two main characters, and the younger police officers introduced in the 4th novel.
The settings were well described and took me back to my travels in Greece. The plot was good and I was left guessing to the end of each one who was the murderer.
My only disappointment was what appeared to be either a need for a better translator if these were first written in Greek, or another detailed pass of editing as there were numerous errors in word usage and grammar.
I plan to buy Christodoulou’s collection of 12 short stories next.

Having just returned from Crete where I volunteered to teach English to students 9-16 years old, I really looked forward to this series of 5 novels. Basically, the novels have good plots, lots of food references (and Greek cuisine is fantastic as are the people of Crete). The problems were so many typos, commas tossed in everywhere, grammar iffy, an abundance of sex (normal and abnormal) and unbelievable gore. This distracts from the novels which could be really worth reading. And Mr Christodoulou doesn't begin to compare to James Patterson but may some day.

Well written, I enjoyed the characters they are well rounded. The books have a good flow & are well researched. My only issue was in book 5, the character of the bishop is married ... In the Greek Orthodox Church the hierarchy of the Church consists only of "archmandrites" (unmarried priests)

A fantastic series about two Greek detectives that work the Greek Islands. Great description of the secenery and really gives you a feel of being in the country. Lots of excitement with great characters

Could not even finish the first book of this series. The constant use of the fuck got to be too much. I have been known to use it myself but this was over the top. But grammar checking was decidedly missing and for a college professor unforgiveable.

Gruesome and hard to believe some of the storylines but well written and a page turner. Read all 5 books in a row but would suggest breaking it up with other books in between.

Wow! I really enjoyed every single one of these books. Very unique mysteries which you didn’t see the end coming.
