The murder in babylon

The book the false king was a book i was not very interested in at the beginning it started out slow but as i read the book it slowly became more interesting. I like that it takes place in ancient babylon if you like mystery and adventure this will be a good book for you, if you don't like slow moving serious books i would not recommend it. But it has some humor, it's not all serious i liked this book and i think you would to so as you know it takes place in babylon.

The pharaoh died from an assassination and his son is placed on the throne but is scared that they will kill him to and set in a regent because his heir is too young for the position of Pharaoh so he asks semerket to retrieve a statue that is believed to have healing powers and semerket says he will fulfill this task because by doing this he will be able to see his ex-wife because she is in babylon because her husband brought her there so he goes on his journey and has an interesting time,i liked this book and you probably will to.
