Gill writes the wrongs with this 'first detective',
By
This review is from: City of the Dead: The Third Egyptian Mystery (Paperback)
Anton Gill, a prolific author clearly in his own "write," continues his series set in Egyptian times (18th Dynasty) in "City of the Dead."Tutankhamun meets his (inevitable) untimely death and, of course, the "dance of the succession" begins, violently. Only the scribe Huy (billed as the "world's first detective") can decipher the code of this historic miasma. And Gill presents a credible, albeit, of course, fictional accounting. Along the way, Gill's writing skill and succinct plot development accompanied by clearly defined and skillfully developed characters make reading this short novel a treat. The plausible conclusion sets us up for another in the series, although at this writing (2004) none has been spotted. We hope Gill hasn't given up on us. It's a good series and worth fighting for!
