"I discovered Lynda Robinson's Lord Meren series by accident. The last mystery series I read that was centered in Ancient Egypt was P.C. Doherty's series set in the time of Hatchepsut.
In Robinson's Egypt, it is the time of the reign of Tutankhamun. The boy king depends on the Eyes and Ears of Pharaoh to thwart not only enemies from beyond his kingdom's borders but also enemies within. Lord Meren fills his role with aplomb, especially when news comes that someone has been found murdered in the Place of Anubis, where bodies are prepared for mummification and burial rituals.
This first book is full of atmosphere and Robinson has done a great job of giving a personality to the well-known pharaoh and also a capable adviser in the form of Lord Meren.
"The book moves at a good clip. The time setting is interesting, just as the boy king Tutankhamun is in his teens. You don't find that many mystery books in this time period."
"A clever whodunit set in ancient Egypt. Average character development, plot, and setting, but a great peek into what life was like in the court of King Tut. Most historical mysteries that I read tend to be set in England or the Roman Empire, so this was a nice change of pace. I would read another book by this author."
