Set in Crete a dozen or so years after WW1, centers around a famous archaeologist, the tensions in his household and among his friends, complicated by a mysterious death. The heroine is a modern woman, drawn with a similar level of complexity as Dorothy Sayers' Harriet Vane. This is the first book in the series. I found it engrossing reading, and I did feel very much drawn into a different mindset. It's clearly a mystery, but there's a touch of romance as well.
