Valley of the Kings is the first book in a trilogy about the pharaohs of Egypt. Book 1 covers the 18th dynasty and is about the lives of Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, and Tutankhamen. Nefertiti makes an appearance as she was married to Akhenaten. It is the debut novel of Terrence Coffey.
Ancient Egypt is a fairly new historical period for me and this was one of the easiest books for me to read. Gary Corby's mysteries are the only other books about this era that I have read but I need to read them slowly as I get bogged down in the Egyptian names and words that he uses. Coffey's book has more contemporary language which made it is fast read.
I am looking forward to reading the next two books and whatever else this author writes. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
