MURDER IN MYKONOS has received rave, best seller coverage from both the Greek and US media. Here is some…
You cannot put it down—not even for one minute—until the mystery is solved. It is brilliant.—Evening Press (Athens)
With ten million Greeks, half of whom think they are writers, how come we had to wait for a foreigner to come along to write such a book!—Esquire Magazine (Greece)
The book everybody is talking about…a powerful novel.—The Value (Athens)
A fantastic writer with endless imagination.—ET2 Magazine (Athens)
A best seller in Greece.—Athens Voice
Murder in Mykonos, a whodunit that topped the Greek bestseller charts.—Financial Times

An insider’s view of Mykonos.—Athens Plus
Jeffrey Siger's 'Murder in Mykonos,' set on Greece's premier party island, is a racy action thriller...Cleverly done…a page-turning momentum…we always want to know what happens next.—Athens News
A story filled with intrigue and suspense.—Deluxe Magazine
The must-read book of the week!—OK! Magazine (Greece)
A hugely enjoyable read.—The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Masterfully written…even if you are not a murder-mystery fanatic, you will adore this book…genius.—Mykonos Magazine
Impressive debut…Siger's view of Mykonos (where he lives part-time) is nicely nuanced, as is the mystery's ambiguous resolution. Kaldis' feisty personality and complex backstory are appealing as well, solid foundations for a projected series.—Publishers Weekly
Siger…captures the rare beauty of the Greek islands in this series debut, the first serial killer thriller published by Poisoned Pen. His sense of place recalls Donna Leon's Venetian series, but his portrayal of rape and murder is all his own.—Library Journal
Siger's intimate knowledge of Mykonos adds color and interest to [an] effective debut novel.—Kirkus Reviews
A fast-paced, page-turning murder mystery that will engross you immediately and will keep you glued until the very end...Grecian myths, picturesque countryside…captivate the reader in the beauty of Mykonos, despite the ardent holding of breath while reading. Siger is a crafted writer…to the point of not wanting to put the book down...Need I say more?—Reader Views
Superb whodunit.—The Mystery Gazette
If you like mysteries and thrillers you will love Murder in Mykonos.—Rebecca's Reads
The most eloquent portrait of a great love of Mykonos.—L’Officiel Hommes (Greece)
Siger’s Mykonos seems an unrelievedly hedonistic place, especially given the community’s religious orthodoxy, but suspense builds nicely as the story alternates between the perspectives of the captive woman, the twisted kidnapper, and the cop on whose shoulders the investigation falls. In the end, Andreas finds more than he bargained for, and readers will be well pleased.—Booklist
[A+ RATING] Siger has done an excellent job of placing the reader right there on the islands with the characters… I could almost feel the sand, hear the music and see the sea… not only immersed in the climate and atmosphere of the island, but in its culture as well…this is such a great book.—DorothyL
A pulse pounding, suspenseful, sun drenched antidote to the gloomy winter blahs.—Myshelf
This is not a typical book…Murder in Mykonos is a riveting story…a rich drama…Siger's book received excellent reviews in Greece... It's a series that should find equally excellent reviews, and avid fans, in this country.—Lesa’s Book Critiques
Siger seems like an old hand at mystery writing. His plot is air tight and flows over pages that cannot be turned fast enough. The suspense keeps one's breath in abeyance… an intriguing mystery with many turns and twists...[and] an exciting ending that is one of the better ones I've come upon.—Bookloons
[Siger’s] first-hand knowledge of the island allows him to paint a vivid picture of the local life while still capturing the wonder of someone who is an outsider. It is this successful blending that brings a most interesting story to life. The story is a well-written nail-biter. For those who love Greece it is a must-read. And, for those who like mysteries that tantalize and keep you guessing right up to the last sentence, this is a winner.—Reviewing The Evidence
MURDER IN MYKONOS should be a required read even if you don't plan to go to Greece any time soon. I definitely look forward to the next adventure of Police Chief Kaldis.—I Love A Mystery
Excellent first novel.—The Mystery Bookstore (Los Angeles)
Murder in Mykonos…is a good read…set on a gorgeous Greek island…and has a heck of a twisty plot. What more do you want?—Greenlightwrite.com
Snow is still flying. What could be better than a great book?…How about a mystery in a foreign setting…Jeffrey Siger's Murder in Mykonos.—Penn Area Library
