First in the Lord Meren, Eyes and Ears of the Pharoah Tutankamun, historical mystery series. A scribe is found dead, buried in a pile of natron (the salt used to suck fluid from a dead body as the first step in the mummification process) at the Place of Anubis, and thus defiles the whole temple. Lord Meren is charged with solving the murder while also trying to keep the young Pharoah safe from various political intrigues. Short, sweet, and for the most part enjoyable, I'll be reading more in the series.
