THE DOCTOR OF THESSALY A Seven Deadly Sins Mystery

The village of Morfi, on the fictional Greek island of Arcadia, has experienced a series of violent incidents. Car trouble brings Hermes Diaktoros, the "Fat Man," to the village just as the local doctor has been viciously attacked, blinded, and beaten. Narrator Gildart Jackson enhances each of the many characters with precisely employed accents and varying tones. He's delightful as the seemingly mild Diaktoros, in his spotless tennis shoes, investigates the crime. Jackson portrays Diaktoros's charm as he fields villagers who are eager to tell him all. But the victim himself is strangely reluctant to have the crime solved. Zouroudi knows her way around a thrilling plot filled the complexities of human motivation. Jackson's performance makes this fascinating mystery an absorbing listening experience. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2014]
