Books like Sphinx

This book was a Secret Santa present from my Book Club, and I have to say it chose me well!It had everything I like: murder, mystery, intrigue, romance, interesting facts about ancient Egypt’s beliefs and enough information about the political situation in Egypt at the time of this story. The story was very well written with colourful characters. From the beginning you are not sure who is the real villain and if there was a murder, or maybe just an accident. I loved the detailed descriptions of cult’s rituals so close to the ancient religious traditions. There was enough in this story to give you sense of unrealistic events to question if there is greater power behind some of the attacks. I though the ending was quite good, bringing all the ancient believes together.
