Flowers of Evil (Hani’s Daughter Mysteries Book 1) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Kerry Carr
Flowers of Evil by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really loved these books. I’ve loved this author’s work since the first book. Their knowledge of ancient Egyptian history and all the intricate details are amazing and captivating and really brings this story to life.
This is the first book in the Hani’s Daughter’s Mysteries series.
In this story we are with Neferet and Bener-ib. They have moved and set up their own place to provide medical aid to the poorer people who wouldn’t normally have access to it. However things go the way they planned as no one comes to them. They don’t understand why people are so skeptical of them and untrusting of their care. They think by approaching a fellow practitioner they could find a way of sharing the load but how wrong they were.
Add to this intense rivalry a unsolved murder. When a man is brought into their care dying it is clear he was murdered. But why would someone want to kill a florist? Who is responsible for this murder? Neferet is her father’s daughter so she embarks on trying to solve this mystery as well as ward off the danger that comes to them from their rival practitioner.
This story is action packed and the indepth knowledge the author has about Ancient Egypt really brings these stories to life for me.
