“Not at all. It seems
poetry must be of your very essence.”
“I do assure you, Mr.
Flinders, that I am a very practical, down to earth young woman. My father
insists that I be, and I am.”
“And yet I find you in
the moonlight dreaming dreams seeing visions.”
“We all dream,” she
said quietly.
G.K. Chesterton, a detective, imagined by Kel Richards,
drags us into his latest adventure, which is part detective story, part murder
mystery, and part sci-fi adventure. Those of you who are addicted to a great
mummy story will find yourself at home with this very entertaining book. It has
everything you need. It takes place in 1919 (now how cool is that?), it doesn’t
have Brendan Frasier in it. It has a cool plot which focuses on a discredited
professor, a three thousand year old mummy, and a freshly murdered corpse. I
ask you, what is there not to like?
So
if you like Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, and you love heroes such as Doc
Savage, and are addicted to Lamont Cranston, this book is for you. It has
everything: romance, mystery, a lost city, wisdom, a temple of Carnak, and the
Valley of the Kings. I say, get off your ass and grab it. It is a really cool
and fun read.
