This is the second book in the ‘Helen Scott’ series by author Rachel Lynch. I love Rachel’s other series featuring ‘Kelly Porter’ but struggled a little with the previous book in this series. This book however was much better and was an excellent read. Not sure if it was just that I am now more familiar with the new character but finished this one looking forward to the next one.

In this book Major Helen Scott finds herself on an assignment in Cyprus following the death of Captain Paul Thomas. Thomas died while diving in a suspected accident but suspicion arises when it is discovered that he had upset people while working on a case.

Four serving soldiers were accused of leaking state secrets and find themselves in custody in a case that could prove to cause a scandal that would rock the armed forces. It is not long before Helen discovers that the island is run by an old fashioned regime that turn a blind eye when they feel necessary.

Exciting novel full of action and in Helen Scott with have a character that is going to grow on readers.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Canelo for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
