⭐A 2021 Top Rated Read⭐
Cyprus, 1948. Whilst trying to bring a dangerous gang to justice, Lieutenant Ash Carter anonymously receives a photograph of Major Johnson's young wife Surena, who vanished six months earlier. The words 'Help Me!' are inscribed on the back. He decides to discreetly investigate her disappearance. As if that's not enough to keep our intrepid hero busy, his girlfriend Penny becomes the prime suspect of a serious crime. Carter now finds himself pulled in several directions and doesn't know who he can trust.
Cyprus Kiss is the prequel to the Ash Carter series of military thrillers. Having read and reviewed several of these books, I think Cyprus Kiss is my favourite yet. The story is, once again, simply fabulous. The author effortlessly creates a sense of time and place; transporting the reader to a bygone era.
There are plenty of twists and turns, plus a romantic liaison that's far from uncomplicated. The plot is suspenseful, fast-paced and gripping. I found myself completely immersed — to the point where I felt bereft when it was over.
Whenever I pick up a Murray Bailey book I know I'm in safe hands. His writing is excellent, his stories are clever and his characters always feel real. He consistently excels with his wonderful descriptions and ability to recreate the past with total authenticity.
Cyprus Kiss is a terrific read and a superb addition to this action-packed series.
