The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight Book 1) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Angela Hayes

The Lightning Horse by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Lightning Horse is the first book in the Empire at Twilight series by N.L Holmes. This is my second book from Ms. Holmes, and the one thing I love about her books is the historical detail she manages to infuse into her stories. As with the other book of Ms. Holmes that I have read, the authors passion for history is evident in her writing. This passion certainly added to my enjoyment of the story.
I love ancient history- and Ms. Holmes seems to know this subject incredibly well- but I imagine a lot of meticulous research, blood, sweat, and tears also went into the creation of this book. The story is a fascinating blend of fiction and historical fact woven into quite an intriguing piece of work. This time, the story is set in the Hittite period, which the author does a great job of recreating and bringing to life.
The story is a slow building cozy mystery, with a little drama for added interest. So, if you love ancient history, original stories with interesting characters and settings, cozies, and crime fiction- then you will probably want to grab a copy of this book.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, N.L Holmes!
