6/8/2023 0 Comments Death in Cyprus by M.M. Kaye![]() ![]() ![]() Most of the action in this story takes place in Kyrenia and the house Amanda stays at is based on the one Kaye stayed in herself. No dead bodies for me please! One thing which helps Kaye write her settings so well is that she writes about places she has visited and like with Kenya, Kaye also went to Cyprus during 1949 on a painting holiday with a friend, when her husband was stationed in Egypt. Though I wouldn’t want the sort of holiday her heroines always seem to end up having. In both stories Kaye excels at capturing the locations she sets her novels in, which invariably leaves me wanting to go on holiday, preferably somewhere warm. Kaye is an author I only tried for the first time last month, when I reviewed Death in Kenya (1958). ![]()
