The Taint of Midas by Anne Zouroudi

3.0

This is my first book by Zouroudi. It was a pretty decent tale, but the overarching story was much better than the mystery, which almost felt like a throwaway. I thought she did a good job evoking the feeling of small-town Greece, and some of the characters and their quandaries were quite engaging. I liked the hints of Nemesis at work as the story is resolved. That being said, the pace was so slow at the beginning I almost gave up. It remained rather languid throughout.
