Reviews

The Baklava Club by Jason Goodwin

thought the ending was very tricky. Much like the ending of great expectations open to interpretation.
Sorry to see the series go. This one had all of the usual-food- sex despite the main character being a eunuch- the friendship of Yashim and the Polish ambassador. Wouldn't reccomend unless you were already familiar with the series.

The Snake Stone: A Novel (Investigator Yashim) by Jason Goodwin

A good way to visit Istanbul during these uncertain times. Also full of historic tidbits of the area and its inhabitants. The story line didn't grab me .

The Janissary Tree: A Novel (Investigator Yashim, 1) by Jason Goodwin

One of the several books I'm reading in preparation for living in Istanbul this fall. Engaging story with history thrown in for good measure.
