A murder in ?the quiet town of Patmos, Greece. Who would want to murder a 90-year-old ?German?

A murder in an enclosed compound with no one but family and the family's gardener and housekeeper around.? How did the murderer get into the ?secure ?compound? One of them had to be the killer since it was difficult to get into the compound, but who and why??

WHEN THE DEVIL'S IDLE is set in Greece with interesting characters? and a wonderful glimpse at Greece's culture.?

The main character Patronas ?was quite likable and a bit comical despite the seriousness of the situation he an?d? his fellow policemen were investigating.?? He was a great character to keep the book interesting and moving along. ?

?Along with the beauty of Greece, WHEN THE DEVIL'S IDLE brought up the horrors of WWII and what happened to the children of Aghios Stefanos. Could this be the reason some?one wanted Gunther Bechtel dead after all this time?

The ending was a bit odd, but the crime was solved. :)

WHEN THE DEVIL'S IDLE dragged a bit and was difficult to follow at first with all the Greek names, but I enjoyed the book and became attached to the characters as I continued reading. 4/5
