Review
This is the 3rd book in the series, but only the first one for me.
I did not know Ash Carter yet, but I was pleasantly surprised when I was introduced to him. He does not beat around the bush. He was in the military helping the police now. Even though nobody within the force believes or give him any assistance, he keeps on pouncing. He knows the lead he follows is the right one and with the help of Detective Sofia Mackenzie, he uncovers the truth. He has a big heart and he looks out for Sofia too and she is very grateful to him for that. 🙂
The author takes us to Cyprus, an island I have visited in the past too. It brings some memories when you read about the places you have been to too. I did not know about the mines there, but I traveled by boat to Haifa and boy that was an experience. 🙂
It’s 1949 when the story begins and when I read that in the blurb I was a bit afraid. Afraid the book would have an old fashioned feel hanging over it, but it felt really modern. It made me even like the story more.
There is suspense, there is heart break, there are things that warmed my heart and of course there are baddies. A complete story in my opinion that I enjoyed a lot.
I have read one other book by this author before and I gave it 5 stars. I like this one even better, so the only thing I can do is give is 5+ stars. 😉
Thank you
