Deep Waters by Barbara Nadel

sandin954's review against another edition

3.0

Istanbul police inspector Ikmen investigates the murder of a young ethnic Albanian in the fourth book of this series. Though a bit too long with a plot that was overly stuffed with various side stories, I always find the Turkish setting fascinating and found this to be an enjoyable read.

I enjoy this series but this book was too long and too busy. Ikmen is involved in a case involving an Albanian blood feud which quickly takes on a very personal dimension. Suleyman, his former assistant, is besotted with his Irish/Turkish psychiatrist friend, who just so happens to be treating a person of interest involved with an Albanian. You don't know this initially but you can see it coming. The excitement in the book ends around 50 pages before the final end and the last 50 pages are all about personal closure. Just too much in this caper. Should have been 100 pages shorter.
