A Curse of Silence by Lauren Haney
3.0
Each successive book in this series has held my interest more. This is the fourth one that I have read and, again, I found the characters engaging and sympathetic and the description of the setting and day to day life in the ancient world believable.
In this Lt. Bak adventure, he must accompany a representative of the queen as he makes an inspection tour along the Belly of Stones. The large entourage draws the attention of a brigand of the desert and eventually comes under attack by him and his forces. And, of course, in the midst of it all, Bak must solve a murder which likewise threatens the peace. It is a well-crafted plot that moves along at a comfortable pace.
I look forward to the next adventure, but after having read four of these books in a row, I'm ready to move on to something else.
