A thorough investigation and exposition surrounding the death of the most famous Pharaoh. Relatively solid analysis. Because of needing a narrative, there are places where it slips into a typical James Patterson novel, but the narrative read quickly and has enough facts to keep it running, and be both intriguing and useful. Multiple timelines running concurrently are featured: Patterson and crew in modern times, Carter and Carnarvon on their times, and Tut and his court, filled with intrigue. The book was a lot better than I had expected, and kept my interest throughout.I am not a fan of Patterson's regular fiction works.

In the "The Murder Of King Tut", James Patterson and co-author Martin Dugard tell the story from past to present. Telling the story from two different times, but how much has times really changed. I really enjoyed the story as I was a little optimistic about buying the book and do I at this time have any regrets ? Anything James Patterson comes out with I will read because he is such a incredible writer. I found this story to be intriguing because Patterson found it to be intriguing. I could just imagine the research that went into place to write this story, but I assure you the time was well worth it. Thanks James Patterson and Martin Dugard for your time and great writing.

Easy, enjoyable read. Over 300 pages and I read it all in one sitting (not something I normally do.) The story moves between modern day (how the book came to be) to early Egypt (Tut's short life, how it ended and who was responsible) with parts of the story set in the early 1900s (How Howard Carter prevailed to find Tut's tomb). Two conspirators were fairly obvious but the third was someone I would have never expected. Love, conspiracy, betrayal were a big part of Tut's story, long hard hours, politics, and perseverance were a big part of Carter's story and the desire to tell their stories makes up the rest.
I enjoyed this book very much. I saw the Treasures of Tutankhamen in Washington DC 32 years ago and so this book was of great interest to me. It was a fast read because James Patterson only had so much data to work with. Over all, I think it was worth the price and time. Diana Ferree
