A review by jessthebookworm
Shadows on the Nile by Kate Furnivall
3.0
3 and a half stars.
I only realised once I had started reading this book that it was the same author who had written the Russian Concubine. If had known that, I probably would not have picked the book up in the first place.
Anyway, I am glad that I did pick this book up.
The story follows Jessica, as she deals firstly with the disappearance of her brother Georgie when she is younger, and now as an adult, the disappearance of her brother Timothy. Her brother Timothy's disappearance causes her to travel to Egypt to find him, and unravel the mystery of his disappearance.
I must say that I enjoyed the parts of the story written from Georgie's perspective, being unsure of whether or not it is accurate, it was interesting to be given an insight into an autistic mind.
The book was a page turner, but unfortunately filled with too many convenient turns, and a bit of a rushed and unpolished ending, otherwise it would have gotten 4 stars.
