Divorce Turkish Style

This is apparently the third in a series, but (mostly) worked just fine as a standalone from what I could tell. If you're looking for a rip-roaring mystery to solve, this isn't it. I found it kind of odd as far as set-up/motivation. The story goes with various possibilities that are brought up/partway investigated. As is the case in quite a few books, the ending felt rushed (even though the story itself was fairly long & sometimes meandering). I don't read a lot of mysteries but this didn't feel satisfying even to me as a mystery. It feels more like a novel with some mysterious stuff thrown in, if that makes sense.

I always enjoy reading reviews of books after I've finished them. A couple of GR reviews mention that Aykol rarely describes show more the characters so the reader really doesn't have a picture of what the characters look like, nor much about Istanbul (other than lots of potholes & roadwork & traffic) & those things are true.

I would classify it as a solid ok. show less

Di un'ingenuità sconcertante. Un'unica nota appena appena interessante la descrizione della cultura turca contemporanea..
