Review
'A cracking plot, colourful local characters and descriptions of the hot, dry countryside so strong that you can almost see the heat haze and hear the cicadas - the perfect read to curl up with' * Guardian * PRAISE FOR THE MESSENGER OF ATHENS:'This powerfully atmospheric mystery embraces Mediterranean passion, mythic meddling and patriarchal persecution. First-time novelist Anne Zouroudi proves a natural at the dark arts of writing Euro-crime' * Independent * `This is a fantastic tale of passion, corruption and murder on a remote Greek island. The main characters were wonderfully written' * Woman's Own *
