Seller's Description:
Acceptable. Collectible-Acceptable. Barbara G. Mertz Rev Trust custom bookplate on front inside cover. This book formed part of Barbara G. Mertz's personal library at her home in Frederick, Maryland. (mystery, romance, suspense)
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!
