This sounds like a thrilling book. I enjoy stories that have Ancient Egypt as part of the plot, so I'll definitely check this book out. Great review!

Sounds awesome! Thanks for this excellent review. :)
I'm glad it caught your attention. Thank you for checking out my review!

It definitely has shades of Dan Brown, though perhaps with less emphasis on art and architecture. Thanks for checking out my review and I hope you get a chance to read the book :)

I really appreciate you checking out my review@ And yes, I love a well balanced book like this and especially enjoyed the characters!

The story really sounds like a highly complex mystery.The fact that the story combines several elements such as Egyptology and conspiracy theory ,makes the book a mystery apart from the story itself.However i like the idea of reading and thinking alright.Thanks for the review.

I love these kinds of novels. I can skip work believe me. I really loved the way you have summed up the story. Detailed but yet inviting. An engaging fast-paced thriller with multiple fronts. Marvellous!
