Book Review of Tutankhamun: The Book of Shadows

Tutankhamun: The Book of Shadows


In this second entry of the Amarna trilogy, the pace picks up from the brooding noir feel of the first book as the royal house of Egypt is threatened with extinction with the death of the young Pharaoh. Despite his misgivings, the beautiful young widow convinces Ra-Hotep to serve her interests, even though this puts his own beloved family at terrible risk.
