Hello Readers,
Thank you, Murray Bailey, for
sending me an eBook copy of Cyprus Kiss for free in exchange for an honest
review. I am so excited to back be on an adventure with Mr Carter after we had a
little break from each other thanks you my silly allergy disorder.
Once again Murray has effortlessly created a vivid and easy
to visualise world where he transports us as the reader to Cyprus in the late
1940s. I love picking up a Murray Bailey book because I know I'm in safe hands. Okay I will admit I can’t read this series in reactive episodes as they are beautifully complex,
and I would I missing the bread crumb trail Murray leaves in his books and I forcing
myself to read them would be a discredit to Murrays writing.
Cyprus Kiss is the prequel to the Ash Carter Singapore series.
I would like to think I am well versed in the current Ash Carter universe, but
it was great reading this prequel. For me this was a prefect prequel and it worked
on every level as it upheld what I already knew and adored about the future Ash
I know, while helping us see some of the events that have shaped him.
This book focuses on Ash’s life as a military
investigator before his later move to Singapore. I am pretty sure I say this every
time I go an adventure with Ash but after reading and reviewed several of Ash Carter
series, I think Cyprus Kiss is my new favourite.
I thoroughly enjoyed Cyprus Kiss and I am so
far devouring The Killing Crew.
Murray has shown Cyprus in the 1940s in a brutal but
honest light by including detailed observations about geopolitical concerns and
widely held attitudes and prejudices of the time. The storyline was
well-written with good use of descriptive language. There are plenty of twists
and turns, keeping the plot suspenseful, fast-paced and gripping. Once again
Murray kept me guessing the whole way through creating another brilliant page
turner. I found myself completely immersed into story as the characters came
across realistic and I adored the setting as it was easy to picture.
This series is available on Kindle Unlimited if you would
like to join Ash on an adventure.
