"A liar is like a mirage. He would make you think the distance is near."
Constantinople 1900. A captivating murder mystery set in one of the world's most exotic and cosmopolitan cities, where high society and royalty graced grand events and where the thing to do was to see and be seen.
When Theodosia Vasileiou receives an invitation to attend one of the society events of the year - the wedding of Hamid, son of Ferid Pasha, to the beautiful Behice, youngest daughter of OEmer Pasha, two of the most eminent families in the city - little did she realise that the elegant event would quickly turn sinister.
The wedding takes place in the picturesque Garden of Enchantment at Ferid Pasha's waterside mansion and as guests revel in the couple's happiness, the last thing anyone expects is a murder.
Before long, Theodosia, together with her trusted manservant, Abdul Agha, finds herself drawing on her late husband's work as a judge in the Greek community to help investigate the murder alongside Chief Inspector Ibrahim, a man entrusted by the sultan himself.
Murder in the Garden of Enchantment is a suspenseful story filled with lively characters and endless twists. It is a story that will immediately transport you into the sights, scents, and tastes of Belle Epoque Constantinople - into the era's distinguished fashion houses, through the winding alleys of the Grand Bazaar, and inside the pastel-coloured waterside mansions that line the picturesque Bosphorus.
For lovers of the intrigues of Agatha Christie and the grandeur of Downton Abbey, this is a murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.
