Flowers of Evil (Hani’s Daughter Mysteries Book 1) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Whisper Hymer

Flowers of Evil by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flowers of Evil is the first book in the new Hani’s daughter mysteries series by N.L. Holmes. It follows Neferet and Bener-ib – two young Egyptian sunets (or physicians) as they try to untangle the mystery of the brutal stabbing of a local florist. It includes a rowdy cast of characters and rival sunu intent on driving our heroines out if business.

I’ve never read any of the original mystery series by Holmes but found this to be a solid read without the context provided there. It was a well-written with many renderings of Ancient Egypt that were both imaginative and shaped by real knowledge of the culture. If you like mysteries and diving into Ancient society then this is definitely for you!
