I loathe murder mysteries with the fiery... uh, fire, of a thousand and one suns. I can't stand to even watch murder mystery films, and I love films. So it surprised me that not only did I pick this book up, but that I read it and enjoyed it. It's set in Ancient Egypt and does a very decent job fitting in with the times and structure of the culture, which is I think a large part of why I liked it. But the plotline was good, too, and I certainly didn't put it completely together until near the end. If anyone is tired of the Agatha Christie and Michener realms of murder mystery, do pick this up. It's a fascinating and exciting change from the usual dull, dreary slop most murder mystery writers serve up. Now if you'll excuse me, I have several more entries by this author to read!
