Lake of Flowers (The Lord Hani Mysteries, book 5) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Robbyn Perkins

Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read in the Lord Hani mystery series and N.L. Holmes left such a great impression that I look forward to reading more. The author begins by setting the tone with a historical background and a character listing which set me on a imaginary path woven in a rich and intriguing knowledge of this fantasy world with gods and kingdoms.

Throughout the story line, the main character, Hani, is pulled in many directions emotionally as he is set out to look into thefts taking place in the king’s household. There is a major worry that this could be a sinister plot to attempt to kill the king. Hani discovers many twists and turns such as a plan to overthrow or rebel against the Queen’s mother and brother. He is torn between his responsibilities and where his emotions are leading him.

I love how the author develops the characters and builds onto that through dialogue. I found myself becoming very attached to Hani’s character. I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful plot along with the knowledge of actual Egyptian gods and goddeses in this amazing story.
