Who has dared to desecrate the sacred place of embalming with a murdered corpse? Pharaoh Tutankhamun orders Lord Meren, his chief investigator, to find out quickly, before power-mad priests use the incident to undermine his royal authority. Everyone is a suspect, for the body belongs to the notorious scribe Hormin, hated by all who knew him. However, Lord Meren is no mere courtier but the Eyes and Ears of the living god. In the terrifying Place of Anubis, where unquiet spirits dwell, in the sunstruck city of Thebes, where Hormin's sons and his beautiful concubine plot, and in the royal court, where intrigues abound, Lord Meren hunts his quarry, peeling back the secrets of nobles and slaves in his quest for the truth. But more important by far is Meren's responsibility to protect the young Pharaoh from his enemies -- who are no farther away than the length of a dagger . . . . "This exceptional debut melds ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and practices with court intrigue to produce a riveting mystery." -- Publishers Weekly… (meer)

Very good for a first effort. Author did fair job of working in a lot of historical detail without huge info dumps. Intriguing characters and complex mystery.

Enjoyable and well-executed gritty detective tale from the Egypt of Pharaoh Tutankhamen's reign. Somebody finds a freshly-murdered stiff in the undertaker's sacred workshop and it's up to Lord Meren,Pharaoh's chief investigator to figure out who committed such a downright sacrilegious act. He's aided in his quest by his adopted son, Kysen, and the story switches smoothly between their two vantage points as they head toward a showdown with some satisfyingly unsavory characters. Looking forward to reading more of this series. (

I am glad I had a chance to read this book- It was a really interesting little cozy murder mystery taking place during the reign of King Tut in Egypt.
A scribe has been killed in the Place of Anubis where the mummy's are prepared for their trip to the afterlife and Lord Meren, the Eyes and Ears of Pharaoh must try to find the killer or killers before they strike again.
I will be looking for more of this series and recommend it to others (

Why I am attracted to this venue, I cannot say. I picked this book up due to recommendations made by other members. Robinson is certainly worth reading and she is an adept storyteller incorporating lots of twists, and kept me going in for more. I am impressed with her ability to direct the warp and weft of the characters background motivations moving them along a parallel path as the woven wood bridge symbolized in The Bridge of San Luis Rey. I recommend the book and look forward to sharing in the progression of her craft. (

Great quick read. You'll learn a lot about everyday life in Ancient Egypt. Enjoyable, as are all of the books I've read in this series. (

Most writers have at least one person who inspires them, cheers them on, and supports them. I have someone like that, someone who has risked with me, fought my battles with me, and believed in me. There are no words that can express my gratitude and my love. Wess Robinson, this dedication, and everything I write, is for you.
