Book Review 1: Isia’s Secret
If you like political thrillers and
investigative journalism, you will definitely enjoy reading Isia’s Secret as it
is one of the best examples of this genre. Enda, a journalist, is given an
assignment to write an article about a Greek tycoon, Paul Hrisacopolis who
seeks Greek sovereignty for Cyprus. Although he is asked to write something
‘nice’, he decides to look deeply into Hrisacopolis’s past. He teams up with
Jessica, his lovely and smart assistant to reveal the truth about Paul
Hrisacopolis’s greedy plans and his family secrets. As they put different
pieces of a puzzle together to disclose Isia’s secret, the POV frequently
switches from first person to third person. I especially like this technique of
storytelling as the reader can see the story from different angles.
Isia’s Secret is a dazzling and enjoyable
read which takes you to an adventurous journey from London to Cyprus and
Istanbul. Raymond Stone artistically and brilliantly uses some historical facts
to create an intriguing storyline for his novel. I very much enjoyed the
characterizations, the relationship between Enda and Jessica and the vivid
description of different settings.
5 out of 5 stars and look forward to
reading Raymond Stone’s other works.
