Though the book started a bit slowly, it engaged me with a decent mystery and a very good feel for Mykonos. Jeffrey Signer obviously knows the people and terrain and it makes a great setting for this novel. I got a better feel for the male characters than the women who were the victims. The males seemed more fully developed as characters though not always sympathetic ones. I would read another mystery by Siger.

Mykonos is a resort island off the coast of Greece and bad news would devastate the local economy. So in this “Jaws” like thriller, with a little "Silence of the Lambs" thrown in,newly appointed chief of police Andreas Kaldis must find a serial killer, and do it without driving away the tourists. Kaldis must probe beneath the sunlit surface to catch this predator. He will meet with the usual lineup of possible suspects. Each makes a strong first impression but then fades before they can take a place in our imagination. A thriller ending doesn't disguise the fact that the depths least probed are those of the characters.Those who have been to Mykonos might enjoy Siger's depiction of the island but the pedestrian writing made it a slog to the end.

I enjoyed the book. It was well written and easy to read. Fast paced, exciting, and I really enjoyed the lead detective. I am looking forward to seeing what Jeffrey Siger writes next. I am sure Detective Andreas Kaldis will become a series. I also enjoyed the setting of the Greek Islands. And, the twist at the end was very unexpected.

I was drawn to the title of this book because I visited Mykonos this summer on a Mediterranean cruise and was entranced by the beauty of the stark white buildings against the azure sky. I was hopeful that I could relive the experience through the author's eyes, and I was certainly not disappointed. His descriptive writing allows the reader to perfectly picture the scene he is creating.
The book captured my attention from the very first page and did not let go. The reader is mostly spared the gory details of many serial killer novels, which was appealing to me. The mystery was intriguing and it was hard to book the book down until I found out how it would end. This is definitely a book that I would recommend to anyone who likes mysteries, and this one has the added bonus of being set on a beautiful island.

Mykonos Island is a Grecian gem, so when a body is discovered all the politicians want to keep it quiet. A sharp, handsome Athenian detective, "banished" to sleepy Mykonos, is teamed up with an old homicide chief to solve the murder...but bodies keep popping up. With time running out, the pages turn to the beat of spectacular sunrises, nude beaches, plenty of suspects and wild Grecian nights. Characters are real and the action moves. Fun!

The character development in this book is not very good. You don't feel like these are real people. The plot is ok but I don't like mysteries where the murderer is revealed in the first chapter. I did enjoy his background descriptions of Mykonos and I thought he did a good job of using Mykonos as a setting for the murders.If you like mysteries revolving around other counties law enforcement agencies you'll probably enjoy this book.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
