Cyprus Kiss by Murray Bailey
Set a few years after the end of WWII. Lieutenant Ash Carter is has a new assignment on the island of Cyprus and stumbles upon an execution style killing that drags him into a roller coaster ride of murder, abduction, gangs & corruption.
This is an extremely well written and perfectly paced novel which twists and turns throughout as Ash attempts to solve two murders and a missing persons case that all look like they may be connected.
Just when you think you’ve outsmarted Ash and solved part of the mystery the author rips the carpet from under your feet and leaves you reassessing the whole case.
Expect the unexpected and never discount even the most secondary characters. This will keep you hooked right until the end and even then it still has surprises in store.
I’m now about to spend Sunday devouring Ash Carter’s next assignment in ‘The Killing Crew’

Murray Bailey was always interested in writing and, at an early age, had articles published in newspapers, including the Times. Despite studying Physics and Mathematics and pursuing a very different career, he also edited a magazine for a year as well as a batch of technical books.
After 10 years of scribbling, in 2016 his first published novel was I Dare You. He went on to demonstrate his passion for ancient Egypt and puzzles in his novel Map of the Dead. However the Singapore series featuring the ex-military policeman Ash Carter was a labour of love and based on his first unpublished story that eventually became Singapore 52.
Born in Greater Manchester, England, he gradually moved south to reach the beautiful Dorset coast where he lives with his wife and family. Having young children and an all-consuming passion such as writing doesn’t leave much free time, but when he does take a break, he enjoys running, cycling, kayaking and building sandcastles with his children.
