Death in Cyprus

A Novel

By: M. M. Kaye

Narrated by: Julia Farhat

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 this classic novel of suspense and romance by one of our most celebrated writers.

Timeless story, great author

What a great summer read. I love a book that takes me away to an exotic location and another time. What makes this book great is how well it is written. It is romantic and suspenseful without being cheesy. This book is well narrated. The voice fits the book. Audible has several other M.M. Kaye novels available but sadly the narration choices are poor on several of them. It's a real disappointment. The wrong choice of narrator really ruins a book for me. So if you enjoy this book and want to try another in the "death" series, I recommend listening to the sample first.

love MM Kaye

trying to read everything she wrote. I love that it said "she said an unprintable word". Those were the days.

Predictable

The reader was over dramatic and affected. I did listen to all of it but won't repeat M M Kaye

Starts slow but picks up later.

Narrator did a nice job with character voices. Heroine was a bit ditsy but not the worst I’ve read. Overall a pleasant listen.

Terrible narrator

I love this book, but the narrator was so bad it was distracting. She has a school girl sing-songy delivery. Every sentence that was not actual dialogue was read the same way, with the same cadence, and much of the dialogue was too. Also, having lived in Cyprus myself, I know that she mispronounced many of the place names, which lack of research seems like pure laziness on the part of the people who made this.
