Theft of an Idol
Theft of an Idol | Dana Stabenow
2 posts | 1 read
Alexandria 46 BC Cleopatra - seventh of her name, avatar of the goddess Isis, ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt - reigns from her palaces of Alexandria, surrounded by riches untold. Through the streets of her great city bustle scholars and sailors, politicians and priests. For those with the means, it is a comfortable life. But not all those in Egypt's first city are so fortunate. For the peasants and farmers, their lives lie in the hands of the gods and the harvest. Unless, that is, they can find other methods to feed their families. Other, less savoury methods... When a beloved actress disappears on the eve of a great performance, Cleopatra orders Tetisheri, her trusted Eye of Isis, to investigate. She must unravel a mystery that leads to the city's darkest corners in order to discover the truth.

Pickpick

A superstar actress is due to perform in a play with Cleopatra in the audience but doesn't turn up. Cleopatra tasks her Eye, Tetisheri, with finding the missing actress.

The mystery takes a bit of a back place to Sheri and Apollodorus's relationship but still worked well. I didn't see the final twist coming till near the end but it wasn't a GASP moment.
