Summary: Dullsville
Comment: Although I read the book to the end, it was a struggle. The characters were superficial, the background descriptions unsatisfying and the denouement not particularly gripping. Having been spoilt by Lindsay Davis's wonderful Falco series, I was hoping for something more evocative of daily life in Ancient Egypt but I never got a real sense of anything in this story. I won't be reading any more adventures of Lt Bak.

Summary: More average than I had hoped
Comment: Haney does one thing really really well in "The Right Hand of Amon" -- the descriptions of everyday life as it may have been lived near the end of the 18th dynasty. Perhaps if one has read the series from the beginning, the characters would feel fuller, richer, more like people. However the sign of a great book is to make a newcomer to a series feel for the characters regardless of which book in a series is read first. I didn't feel much of anything for any of the characters. Likewis it seemed that the mystery was solved haphazardly with little evidence and more luck than anything and a satisfying conclusion came with a whimper.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great beginning to a great series!
Comment: For those [with unfavorable comments]....how many historical mysteries have you written and published? Luren haney is an excellent writer, and while this book may not be up to those of other historical mystery writers, her subsequent volumes in this series definiely are. Go Lauren!!!!!
