The best one yet. Ikmen goes undercover while still reeling from injuries in a suicide bombing and the emotional pain of the estrangement of his wife. Lots of action as Ikmen goes to the UK and works with Scotland Yard. Great pacing until the very end when Nadel as usual takes forever to wrap-up and prepare us for Ikmen's next adventure. After this one I'm wondering if he'll be retiring soon. Lots of pain in this one for a 57 year old policeman to endure.

I like Barbara Nadel's book for again, quick reads. This I squeezed before starting A Feast For Crows by George R R Martin and also because we are in Turkey, and I wanted to read one of her books.

I now struggle to justify buying fake handbags... not a bad thing really considering!

Really enjoy reading about Cetin Ikmen and his wife Fatma. They are so cute, so real and so Turkish in so many ways. Ms Nadel has gotten quite a few things right about the country, or more frankly, she follows my thoughts and beliefs about my country - though sometimes the spelling lets her down.
