Honour Among Men is a smorgasbord of mystery, appealing characters and twists and turns!,
By Cheryl Tardif "bestselling suspense author" (Edmonton, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Honour Among Men (An Inspector Green Mystery) (Paperback)
Honour Among Men brings back Fradkin's interesting protagonist, Inspector Green. This time he's called to a case involving the death of a mysterious woman whose body was dumped on the shore of the Ottawa River. The first order of business? To uncover the woman's identity. The second? To find out why she had a military medal for bravery in her hand.This fascinating novel takes you from Ontario, Canada, to Croatia via a soldier's missing diary, and it gives you a look into the hearts and souls of soldiers and the atrocities they face every day when they're at war. It also exposes the raw inhumanity of war and how people are forced to make choices 'over there', ones they have to live with afterwards...if they can. Honour Among Men shows us that politics are often cloaked by past misdeads. Everyone has a past. Some don't want theirs in the limelight, and they'll do anything to keep their secrets. If you enjoy a great mystery novel with vivid scenes, realistic dialogue and a well researched plot, check out Honour Among Men. Recommended for: Those who like a traditional 'whodunnit mystery' set in contemporary times. ~Cheryl Kaye Tardif, Author of Divine Intervention

This review is from: Honour Among Men (An Inspector Green Mystery) (Paperback)
Barbara Fradkin's mysteries are a must for expat Canadians. The settings in Ottawa and Ontario add a great deal. Her books however do stand on their own for fascinating stories and an appealing detective.
