I absolutely loved this book, it had love, passion, adventure, misadventure, it was a wild ride, so worth the read! I loved the chemistry between Dan and Alex, I loved all the antics, the whole book was nonstop fun! I absolutely love books that delve into the field of Archaeology and Egyptology, and this book did not disappoint at all!
I first read this book when it was first released many years ago and throughout the years I would occasionally read it again it was in paperback form .when I got my e reader I am slowly replacing all books and this was one of the first times I’ve had to review this book. IT WAS WONDERFUL so well written and very captivating
For a novel to be a part of so many "shelves" is commendable. The author has a very natural way of making all the elements fit. Of course Egypt lends itself to mystery and romance. My favorite travel was up the Nile from Alexandria to Abu Simbal.
Having been to the Valley of the Kings, the heat even in the winter months is unbelievable. Doing a dig must be the most hard dusty labor I can think of, however the author did not dwell on the painstaking discomfort. Instead, the focus was a fast paced story with characters at odds, trying to solve a mysterious disappearance.
