Title: not like Donna Leon
Product review: I have read and enjoyed many of Donna Leon's books and have recently spent time in Istanbul so I thought this would be a good book for me, as the publisher calls this author the Donna Leon of Istanbul. Leon's portrayals of crime and justice in Venice may be a bit cynical but her characters are likable and the books contain subtle humor. I did not find any of Nadel's characters likable, and the salacious and violent sex scenes were definitely not to my taste. After reading 2/3 of the book, I found I didn't really care who committed the murder or why and didn't finish reading it. In my opinion, this author is not like Donna Leon.
