Murder on the Acropolis

2018 | Crime

What happens on the Acropolis of Athens when a wealthy young English woman is murdered on it? How two private detectives, an English man and his Greek colleague, try to unveil the mystery of this murder – and of those following it – in London, Athens and a number of beautiful Greek islands and sights. Finally, for these crimes, what is the role of a second Antikythera mechanism – that is, of another version of the first computer in the history of science through which the ancient Greeks calculated the movements of the stars, the periods of the Olympic Games and time in general? A breathtaking novel, indeed, for demanding readers who prefer adventurous stories combining stormy action with refined humour and challenging questions on some important issues of human behaviour.

Too much going on making it difficult to follow the plot. (0 more)
Murder on the Acropolis by Christos Christidis is a slightly confusing book that takes readers on a twisting journey in Greece following the trail of a few murders.

Linda Davis and her husband, Tony are visiting the Acropolis in Greece when tragedy strikes. Linda is killed by an unknown shooter in what appears to be an assassination. Yet the question remains, was she the intended target or just caught in the crossfire? The investigation of Linda’s murder quickly is connected to two other murders. The total investigation takes readers on a journey to beautiful locations and on visits to shady people. No one is safe from the suspect list from casino owners to lawyers. Can this mess of deceit, lies, and mystery safely be untangled or will the investigators fall to the dangerous murderer.

I absolutely love the setting and the level of planning in this book. The plot was entertaining and holds a lot of promise in a reread. It was difficult to write a summary of this book without giving away any spoilers. What I didn’t like was that there was just too much going on in this book making it difficult to follow the plot. It feels like it jumps around way too much and is a relatively hard read.

Adult who enjoy mysteries with multiple characters and plots. I do not recommend this book for people who have a lot of distractions to deal with regularly. Younger readers will probably get lost in this book much like I did. I rate this book 2 out of 4. I feel like this was a well though out book that many people will enjoy, I just didn’t happen to be one of them. Unfortunately I had a lot of difficulty following what was going on. It is defiantly a book I will be revisiting in the future.
