The Machine Murders

 The Machine Murders: Island Buoys, CJ Abazis, Publisto Ltd., 2021

Set on the Greek island of Mykonos, this novel is about a man named Manu Manos. He is Greek, and works for Interpol in Singapore. He is attending the destination wedding of his roommate from Stanford, and there is an international conference on criminology also happening on the island.

A dead body is found, underwater, killed in a particularly gruesome way. The local police are better at handling drunk tourists than investigating a murder. Manu becomes the official head of the investigation, even though he is more comfortable with data sets and probabilities than interrogating suspects. 

As Interpol's computers scour the world of social media, and start to reduce the suspect list, another body is found, and another. There is seemingly no connection between the victims. Manu is continuously in contact with Singapore, where, interestingly, a copycat killer is found.

Suddenly, Lena, Manu's girlfriend, and the bride, have disappeared. Can Manu find them before they get added to the victim list?

Here is a gem of a story. It has plenty of suspense, an exotic location and dead bodies. This will keep the reader reading long past bedtime.
