5.0 out of 5 stars A Quick and Exciting Escape, July 3, 2001

This review is from: Murder at the God's Gate (A Lord Meren Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a quick read and, once Lord Meren takes the hint that there is something going on, the action really warms up. I admit that it starts out slow. The first victim is a person of no consequence and his death could have easily been an accident but it gives Kysen something to do. However, things really get rolling when the murderers start trying to cover their tracks to keep Kysen from learning something, which gets Lord Meren's attention. The setting in ancient Egypt also makes it a good escape from the everyday.

This review is from: Murder at the God's Gate (A Lord Meren Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)

This novel of murder and intrigue revolves around the court of Tutankhamun the young pharaoh of Egypt.

Egypt's enemies are harrying the borders, but the biggest threat to the country and the young king are from within.

A temple priest is found at the bottom of an enormous statue of the pharaoh, he had been working on a platform at the top of the statue. Did he fall or was he pushed. Meren "the eyes and ears of the pharaoh" sends his son Kysen to investigate the matter. Shortly after another priest of higher rank is murdered.

What secret did they know that made them so dangerous they had to be killed?

Meren knows that there is much bitterness and unrest among the most important men who surround the pharaoh. This bitterness reverts back to the pharaoh Akhenaten, whom many regarded as a monster. Is Tutankhamun to be made to pay for the misdeeds of his ancestor.

This book is one of a series written by the author and featuring Meren "the eyes and ears of the pharaoh."

This review is from: Murder at the God's Gate (A Lord Meren Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)

You can almost feel like you're there in the heat of the Egyptian sun as it bakes into Thebes and with the dangers of court life. It was a wonderful trip into a time and place we can never go otherwise. I recommend it strongly. The plot is intricate, strong and solvable by those who look carefully.
