Helpful Score: 2


Maybe it's because I already know the story, but I didn't find this much of a thriller or a murder mystery. I didn't like how he broke the action up or jumped around with the chapters. The characters seemed like stereotypes: the evil villain, the plotting general, the doomed king. I applaud his research, but the few chapters about it seemed like filler.

If you would like to read about the murder of King Tut, I recommend The Murder of Tutankhamen by Bob Brier.
