From AudioFile:

Nadia May ably carries listeners to nineteenth-century Istanbul in the second of anthropology professor Jenny White's mysteries involving Magistrate Kamil Pasha. In this one, he must solve a complex case involving the smuggling of precious religious artifacts. Woven into the plot is the story of an unusual Christian Abyssinian sect, led by a woman whom Kamil finds strangely alluring. White has cleverly produced a book that will appeal to listeners who love Dan Brown-type plots and those who want accuracy in their historical mysteries. Without using many accents, May infuses the wide range of characters--from a snobbish British official to a Turkish street urchin--with vibrant personalities, and her pacing is spot-on as she guides listeners into Istanbul's back alleys.
