Murder In The Place Of Anubis

When the scribe Hormin is killed, Pharaoh Tutankhamun requests that Lord Meren, his chief investigator, bring the miscreant to justice. Along with his adopted son, Kysen, also an investigator have their work cut out for them as the decedent was universally loathed, making just about everyone who came in contact with the dead scribe, a suspect.

I found the book hard to get into but the more I read, the easier I found to enjoy the characters and the milieu of ancient Egypt. Having recently finished watching the Marvel series Moon Knight, which was deeply stepped in the Egyptian mythos, gave me a better feel for the environment.

I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in a mystery set in the Egypt of old.
