Book Review of The Murder of King Tut

The Murder of King Tut
reviewed on + 419 more book reviews


This is an interesting account as to how King Tut may have met his death at the age of 19, as told by that master story teller, James Patterson. The description of life in ancient Egypt among the ruling class is expertly woven into the tale of murder. In addition to the murder, we learn about the dedication, to the point of obsession, of Howard Carter, the famous Egyptologist who discovered King Tut's tomb. A great story....
