Helpful Score: 1
Set in l908 Turkey, the plot is sufficiently complicated, the people involved interesting. The details of the period are fascinating but not overwhelming. Overall, if you like a sort of cozy/police investigative mystery set in an exotic time and place--which I do--you will enjoy this.
