Twenty-year-old Amanda Derrington is on an extended cruise with her uncle when she decides to make a short trip to the sun-washed island of Cyprus. But even before the ship arrives in the port, there is a suspicious death. Once the passengers reach the island, it soon becomes clear that the death was in fact an act of murder. What Amanda had meant to be a pleasant excursion quickly takes a turn for the worse in M. M. Kaye's Death in Cyprus , a classic novel of suspense and romance by one of our most celebrated writers.

Murder, suspense, romance and an exotic locale. What more could a reader ask. Lots of atmosphere and local description. A sympathetic heroine, a mysterious hero and a cast of interesting and sometimes neurotic characters.
Plenty of action on the island of Cyprus in the mid-1950's. The bygone British colonial times and attitudes are as fascinating as the place and the plot. Mostly English characters with a few minor Greek characters and one memorable American thrown in the mix. It begins on a cruise ship but most of the story takes place on the island. Great beach read!
