The Collector's Daughter: A Novel of the Discovery of Tutankhamun's Tomb by Gill Paul

3.0

This is a light read, although I am uncertain why Paul chose a dual time-line structure. A straight chronological telling could have been more suspenseful. As it is, this book touches on multiple genres, but none of them are particularly enticing.

An ill-titled story as well. Eve certainly deserved attention and the title belittles her importance. The story really centers on her choices, not those of her father. The title jumps on the bandwagon of a trend, but it doesn't reflect the book.

Aside from that, I found this story a pleasant read and I did learn something about King Tut's tomb. I did like Eve.
