6/10, well where do I begin with this one and this is the first and only book I've read from Ken Catran since my library does not have any other books that he wrote but he underwhelmed me with this crime novel. It starts off with the main character Robert living in Tucker, New Zealand when four people were killed and he tries to find out why and this is where the book gets quite unrealistic for two main reasons. First off Robert discovers some forest fortress where there is some sort of cult that believes in the Egyptian gods for whatever reason and I didn't find that believable and secondly there was a side plot that wasn't really needed where he dives into a lake with a trapdoor and a corridor to find some coins but apparently they were all fake so it was all for nothing I guess. I think the murderer was someone I least expected who might've used an alias and the only traces they left behind were jack cards with smiles on them which could represent something but I really am perplexed as to what they mean. The characters were just there to keep the story moving and I didn't care if some of them died since they had no characteristics whatsoever. I'm not surprised that my library has this novel because they like keeping old books, this one being 13 years old and better novels have been made since then. If you like crime novels skip this one and try the Inheritance Games series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes instead of this.… (meer)
