    As always,excellent story. History mixed with possibilities of unknowable events create new realities.
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020*

Great tale. I have read of the ancient Constantinople and Istanbul histories but not much on recent history. To tie the old with the events that occurred when Turkey underwent their next evolution in the early 1900's has made me curious of the reason for the changes that occurred. I have read other Jason Goodwin books and enjoyed them tremendously. I recommend any of his books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One of a great series about Turkish detective!
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015*

As posted in another review of this series about Hashim, a sort of Turkish detective of the last century, I love this series!  Hashim is a wonderful character, a great mystery and  problem solver, and an ex-advisor to the Sultan who calls him in from time to time for help.  The stories are really interesting, particularly because you learn a great deal about the Ottoman Empire, the magnificent city of Istanbul, Topkapi Palace, etc.  Jason Goodwin is a scholar who has  written a wonderful history of the Ottomans, and he's a great story teller, too.  I go to Istanbul quite frequently, and I have learned so much from these books, and have found out that what I did know is much more interesting than even I thought it was.  Fun reading!

    Jason Goodwin's Snake Stone a winner
  

*by J***1 on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2010*

The Snake Stone is Jason Goodwin's second novel in his Ottoman series featuring Yashim Togalu, the Ottoman court investigator, who becomes involved in a complicated set of intrigues in Istanbul, into which is woven a  fascinating historical pattern of events involving the Ottoman Empire in the first part of the 19th Century. Goodwin is a master story teller with a classical prose style that is a refreshing change from the crude and often ungrammatical offerings of many modern popular fiction writers. Of particular interest is Yashim's relationship with the Polish ambassador Palewski, an Ottoman supported relic of a country that no longer exists in this époque, and whom we met in the preceding novel, The Jannisary Tree. Together, they form an odd, but infinitely interesting interactive couple as Yashim pursues his investigations.This novel, as well as its preceding book, the Janissary tree, which introduces us to Yashim and the Ottoman world, are must reads for the ardent devotees of historical mystery fiction. The book is sophisticated, compelling, and holds the reader enthralled to the last. The historical detail is wonderful and plunges us into a world from which it is difficult to extract ourselves. I can't wait to read the next installment in the saga of Yashim.
