El juez Amerotke se enfrenta a la misteriosa muerte de algunos de los más sabios sacerdotes de Egipto, reunidos para debatir la legitimidad de la faraona Hatasu, también conocida como Hatsepsut. Curiosamente, todas las víctimas eran favorables a que Hatasu ocupara el trono... Second in the Ancient Egyptian mysteries series. When multiple murders occur in the sacred Horus Temple, Judge Amertoke is asked to help solve and stop the murders. This is a great time period for intrigue and mystery. This particular story takes place during the tumultuous reign of Queen Hatshepsut as she struggled to become the first woman Pharoah of Egypt. The plot and suspects are entertaining enough as in the time period and setting. What is also interesting is that as a judge the main protagonist sees other cases that we get glimpses of, sort of mini-mysteries themselves. I'm enjoying this series and on to the next one soon. This is the second book in Amerokte, a priest of Ma'at, who investigates killing and other offences like this as a priest of order. It's in the period of Hatusu, a female pharoah in the 18th Dynasty and evokes the world and period. The priests are to determine if it's right that Hatusu is pharoah as a woman, and suddenly some of them start to die. It's an interesting series with some interesting characters, it possibly needed some reminders of who people were and why they were as it was a while since I read the last book so my brain didn't quite catch up for a while. The mystery was fairly twisted and involved and I enjoyed the read,. Ansiosa por legitimar su poder absoluto como Faraón, le bella pero implacable Hatasu ha reunido a los más sabios sacerdotes de Egipto para que debatan este asunto en el templo de Horus. Sin embargo, curiosamente, quienes defienden el derecho de las mujeres a ocupar el trono aparecen misteriosamente asesinados, y Hatasu decide poner el caso en manos de una persona de absoluta confianza, el juez supremo de Tebas Amerotke. Amerotke se enfrenta a un complejo y enigmático caso en el que las luchas por el poder hacen aucune critique | ajouter une critique
After the death of her husband Pharoh Tuthmosis II, Hatusu has confounded her critics by winning a great battle against the Mitanni. Aided by her lover, Senenmut, she is determined that all sections of Egyptian society should accept her as the first Pharaoh-Queen of Egypt - an acceptance that needs the favour and support of the priests. When a spate of killings takes place in the Divine Temple of Horus, the naturally superstitious priests interpret this as a sign of the Gods' disapproval of Hatusu's rule of Egypt. The royal city turns once again to respected judge Amerotke to find the truth. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
