You'll believe in the demons of the Egyptian after life!
Comment:
This is an incredible book, and Robinson's Lord Meren series just keeps getting better. Always fascinated by ancient Egypt, mummies, and gods since I was young, this series was been more than enjoyable.
Picking up where the previous book (Murder at the Feast of Rejoicing) left off, Lord Meren, the Eyes and Ears of the Pharaoh, is beginning his covert investigation into the possible murder of Queen Nefertiti. What is she was murdered? What if these same killers decide to strike against the Living God, the teenage pharaoh Tutankhamen? Meren, already plagued by feelings that he let another pharaoh die, will not allow this to happen.
However, as Meren is beginning his investigations, brutal murders are occurring in the city of Memphis, a city composed primarily of poor people. Could the Devouress, the demon goddess Ammut actually be walking the streets, finding those she considers unworthy and devouring their hearts? From the evidence left at the scenes, it certainly does appear that way...
Lynda S. Robinson has created an Egypt that is real and alive, though most all of the daily activities of the average person at some point had to do with the dead. Robinson's Egypt is a dangerous place, where leaders of the various religions try to place themselves and their gods above the Living God. However, the most interesting and rewarding aspects of this novel, as well as Robinson's others, are the wonderful and deep characters she creates. From Meren's interactions with his practical and conceited daughters (he has one of each), to his adopted son (who is becoming more and more a man like his father), to the deep feelings of love and responsibilities he feels for the young pharaoh, the reader is constantly watching and waiting to see how this incredible and complex man will solve this intriguing mystery.
This book is excellent and well worthwhile. I'd like to highly recommend all of Robinson's books, but this one in particular.

Summary: Immerse yourself in another time!
Comment: These books combine eerie mystery with a fun fantasy of everyday life in ancient Egypt. The entire series is like a dessert topping for those of us who enjoy reading about ancient civilizations. Ms. Robinson brings to life in a fascinating way the details of daily life in old Egypt. The fourth in the Lord Meren series is gruesome and just a tad confusing. But it's rewarding in the end and I'm looking forward to another.
