This one was less of a clever puzzle and focused more on the supernatural, which is why I didn’t love the plot as much.
However, this one had way more depth to it when it came to the historical part.
The author clearly researched the details of tomb KV62 and it showed.
Not only the tomb itself, but the era surrounding it felt very realistic. From the English views on Germans, the new Egyptian independence and the race to find Tutankhamun first.
I especially loved the way this book handles the ethics of the English archeological activities in Egypt. Every single aspect is beautifully layered, and the characters involved come in shades of grey.
Carnavon doesn’t trust Konstantin because he is Prussian, his daughter doesn’t mind. Both father and daughter do not bother to learn Abdel’s name because he is a servant, but still reward him when helps them find something important.
When a working mule dies, only working class Aiden understand that grieving is not possible because work has to continue in order to earn money.
There is a ‘good’ and a ‘bad’ but none of the characters are wholly good or bad. ( )
