Somehow, in spite of the fact that I’m a huge mystery reader, I’ve missed out until now on reading any books from the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs.

Red Land, Black Land: Daily Life in Ancient Egypt is a really nice “history” of ancient Egypt, with more emphasis on the lives of the common people than you sometimes get in books like this. It’s by Barbara Mertz, who is perhaps better known (outside of her academic field) as Elizabeth Peters, the author of

The Pot Thief Who Studied the Woman at Otowi Crossing is the ninth and most recent (2020) in the Pot Thief series by J. Michael Orenduff.

So I was happy to receive a review copy of

I have loved some of Ross King’s non-fiction books, including Brunelleschi’s Dome, Michelangelo And The Pope’s Ceiling, and Leonardo and the Last Supper. But I had no idea he had written two historical mystery/suspense titles too: Ex-Libris and Domino. Now Ex-Libris is on sale at Kindle UK for £1.99. (I can’t find it in the
