Tutankhamun: (A Rahotep mystery) A gripping and compelling mystery that will transport you to Ancient Egypt by Nick Drake

3.0

I wasn't completely convinced by this book to start with as it felt very much like a modern crime thriller that had just been set in Ancient Egypt, using the usual big names to grab some attention. But as I continued to read, I did find myself enjoying it more and more, and even getting used to the oddly modern feel despite the ancient setting. I'm still not totally convinced of the accuracy or the artistic licence applied but the story Drake does weave is packed full of conspiracy and intrigue that is surprisingly gripping with a good bit of gore thrown in and a very tense finale. Overall not a bad read.
