Book Reviews of Death in Cyprus: A Novel
Book Review: A nice old-fashioned mystery with strong local colour
Summary: 4 Stars
Although written in 1956, the book is still enjoyable - like a trip back in time. Today it would be labelled "romantic suspense" and would have to contain some explicit sex; the romance is a bit understated for modern taste, and the end just a tad quick. You never find out the hero's actual profession and position, for instance. On the plus side, the young heroine is very likeable and plucky (as they said then). The social mores of the upper and upper middle class were not particularly admirable, from the evidence of this book - but of course it had to provide plenty of viable suspects. Just about anybody seems capable of the vile deeds that occur in the lovely Mediterranean setting.
