Nefertiti is the first in a series of mysteries featuring Rahotep, an ancient Egyptian policeman. As a detective story, it's not necessary to know anything about the Amarna period, but I think it adds to the atmosphere if you do. I liked it and would recommend it to anyone who likes historical mysteries of the sort which try to give a feeling of a different time and mindset yet are modern enough in language and incident to feel familiar.
