Summary
Who will return home - and who will be sacrificed to the island?
The Greek Island Killer is the first in Francis Lloyd’s Detective Inspector Jack Dawes mysteries. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, L. J. Ross, J. R. Ellis, Angela Marsons or Faith Martin.
Detective Inspector Jack Dawes and his bride, Corrie, join eight other holidaymakers bound for a tiny Greek island, ready for a bit of sun, sea and sand.
Mayhem ensues when a storm destroys the island’s primitive communications, cutting it off from civilisation. It’s a perfect opportunity for murder.
First one victim is poisoned, followed swiftly by another. Then a woman is found badly beaten in a quiet cove and a body is found in a grotto to St. Sophia, the island’s patron saint. The island’s visitors are being picked off one by one.
Can Jack uncover the truth before the killer ups the ante? Who will return home - and who will be sacrificed to the island?

Pleasantly surprised
I got this without reading the reviews which are on the whole negative. But if you’re looking for something light & very easy to listen to them I would recommend it. I personally didn’t have a problem with the narrator.

enjoyable listen
the story was a bit week , it was enjoyable but more in the style of a light read rather than a great detective book

Worst book I’ve ever I’ve listened to
The story was fantasy and unrealistic rubbish
The storyteller was dull and boring
I only finished it to make sure it had an ending

like a teen novel, terrible narration
it sounds like you are listening to the first Adrian Mole novel! The narrator is just so wrong, makes the characters sound unreal and pathetic.

Humorous Whodunit
Initially this book threw me...It felt 'different', and I couldn't put my finger on it. However, 20 minutes in and I was completely engaged.
The narrator delivered this story wonderfully. His interpretation of some of the characters made me smile, in a good way. As such, I am going to miss them now that I've finished this book.
I found humour in its chapters, alongside drama, darkness and mystery.
The author has an eye for detail, and the observations in the small details and flaws within each characters is worth taking note of.
Having read the negative reviews, I feel people have possibly missed the opportunity of enjoying this book, simply for its unique style, which has an air of crime fiction from the 50s and 60s about it.
Lastly.....a Greek Island setting adds a pure touch of escapism!

Don’t do it. Waste of a credit
I bought this because I like the genre and it came up on recommended so why not I thought!
The narration is awful. There’s something wrong with the pitch and tone. It feels too light and lacking in gravitas for the content. Also it’s monotonous- all too upbeat when talking about crime!!!
I can’t comment on the plot or storyline as the narrator put me off.
I only lasted 30 mins.
