This book went in a more action and adventure path than I was hoping it would after having read the first one in the series.
I didn't really find the mystery part of the story all that stimulating. It gave a reason for our hero to travel but didn't feel like it was enough of a reason for many of the strange occurrences in the adventure. His infatuation with his ex-wife was a bit of a turn off in regards to the storyline. It impressed me as a bit creepy and obsessive.
Still, there were enough pluses to the story with the history and settings, to convince me to read another if one is ever written.

The second of the ancient, Egyptian detective. This time a sojourn in Babylon. His mission is to aid Ramses 4, but also his own mission to find his wife and her son. Adventure and intrigue, danger and loss. Several other readers criticised this novel as being shallow, while it is a little rough around the edges it is great fun. Lots of action, a few surprises, and an entertaining picture of ancient times.
