Book
Death in Cyprus
First published 1956
Amanda Derington is travelling from Port Said to Cyprus when she exchanges cabins with another passenger. Julia Blaine then dies from poison in the room Amanda should have occupied, leaving Amanda as the only witness to circumstances that point toward murder rather than illness.
After disembarking at Limassol, Amanda stays in an eccentric household while the ship's passengers remain within reach and a second death narrows the circle of suspects. Steve Howard offers protection, but his unexplained interest makes trust another part of the mystery. The novel was first issued as Death Walked in Cyprus.
