What a fun and informative read. It talks about the life of Ancient Egyptian at time of XVIII dynast as it was a guide for an expat.
It's well researched, full of facts and informations, and I liked the style of writing and the humour.
I appreciated it doesn't talk about kings or aristocracy but about the life of the population.
I couldn't put it down and I'd be happy to read other books by this author.
Strongly recommended.

I inhaled this book as I usually do with Simon Green's Ishmael Jones books.
It's a great example of locked room mystery and it kept me on the edge till the end, keeping me guessing and trying to understand how it could have happened.
It's a great thriller and the paranormal aspect plays a minor role comparing to other books in this series.
Penny and Ishmael are great characters as usual but I also liked the well thought and fleshed secondary characters.
The book closure makes me wish that the next instalment will be out something like tomorrow.
An excellent and gripping read, highly recommended.

Can't wait to read the next instalment in this series.

Even if I liked the storytelling and the world building I was overwhelmed by the high number of characters and found hard to connect to the story.
Not my cup of tea.
