Secrets of the Dead: A Novel of Mummies and Ancient Curses by Simon Clark

jamessmith82's review against another edition

2.0

Honestly, not a clue where to start. This was a bizarre book. At times it was really engrossing and pacey, but for most of it it was over explained and repetitive. Sometimes you just have to trust the reader to have remembered major plot points from earlier in the story. The concept could have been ok, but the ending was just odd and didn’t make any sense. From early on I wasn’t drawn in and felt much of the writing very clunky but stuck with it in the hope that the plot would pull it through. It didn’t.
