Another most excellent Greek Detective story by Anne Zouroudi. I've been learning some basic Greek so I was happy to recognise the greeting words used in the book.
I love how these books are written.
Hermes Diaktoros is a mysterious man referred to as 'The Fat Man' who pops up in seemingly random places to solve murders.
I didn't get any inkling to this in the first book, but now I have some serious suspicions that The Fat Man may be the God Hermes himself.
