Critics Review
Absolutely superb
Praise for Paul Doherty: ‘Vitality in the landscape…angst in the mystery, it’s Peters minus the herbs but plus a few crates of sack * Oxford Times *Absolutely superb * CADS *The best of its kind since Ellis Peters * Time Out *I really like these medieval whodunnits * Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller *Wholly excellent, this is one of those books you hate to put down * Prima *If you like the Paul Doherty style you will enjoy this hugely. The pace never flags and despite all this larger-than-life flamboyance Doherty’s Egypt has the ring of truth about it. Doherty has done his homework well and it shows * Historical Review *
