Book Review of The Murder of King Tut: The Plot to Kill the Child King

The Murder of King Tut: The Plot to Kill the Child King
Readnmachine avatar reviewed on + 1474 more book reviews


Lightweight and superficial speculation on the death of King Tut, interwoven with the story of Egyptologist Howard Carter and a totally unnecessary (and self-aggrandizing) contemporary framework. The Carter information is the most interesting. The speculation about political intrigue and murder in ancient Egypt is interesting but not supported by any outside authorities or cited material. Fortunately, it's a quick read.
