I loved this book! Having a life-long fascination with ancient Egypt, and loving a good mystery, there wasn't anything about the story that I didn't enjoy. The author knows his ancient history, and has used what is known about daily life in ancient Egypt to make the story draw the reader in to an exotic lost world. A fast read, with good plot twists.

My first book by this author - well-written, and excellent research into the time period.

Now his widow Hatusu and the Chief Judge must find a killer covering his tracks with the hot desert sands of ancient Egypt...
