My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Web of Evil is the second book to Hani’s Daughter’s Mysteries series. I recommend reading the first book so you can have a better understanding of what’s going on in book 2. This was a great murder mystery read. The world building was great. The characters was well thought of.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great second installment to the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series. We get to experience this story alongside Neferet and Bener-ib, and it is incredibly suspenseful! I adore authors that include character lists, a glossary, and other notes at the beginning of the book because it kind of sets the stage. I also love how the characters are developed because Neferet is a force to be reckoned with. They ran into some unnerving mysteries and had me on the edge of my seat throughout. I definitely lost quite a bit of sleep because I needed to know what was going to happen next. The flow of the story felt so natural and before I knew it, I had blown through the entire book! I highly recommend picking up the first book before this one, but whatever you do, don’t miss out!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Neferet and Bener-ib are back with another mystery on their hands. While visiting Neferet’s family home, her father shows up with a corpse found in the water. Upon investigating, the women find the cause of death to be a blow to the head. Not sure if accidental or on purpose, Neferet is assuming murder.

Neferet and Bener-ib head into the town to identify the body. Turns out, everyone knew the victim but also everyone hated him for some reason or another.

Everyone is a suspect and it’s up to Neferet to narrow down the lists. She doesn’t know what are truths and what are lies as they get tangled information along the way.

Neferet has grown a lot from the first book of the series but she is still a fiery, stubborn yet kind woman. She is intelligent and quick to come to conclusions. This time around, it was easier for me to keep track of names. I love how Neferet will fight for what’s right even when no one else will!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Neferet and Bener-ib are two young women who are skilled healers. They opened up their own practice in hopes to help all those who need it. Unfortunately, another healer spread lies and rumors about the duo causing them to not have any patients. It doesn’t help that this book is set in ancient Egypt times, where women are usually seen and not heard.

To make things even more difficult for the women, their first patient is a dying man who cannot be saved. Someone murdered him. Neferet takes it upon herself to follow in her father’s footsteps and find out who did it.

The journey is a hard one. No one will take her seriously without a male present. Even her own father seems against Neferet doing this. She will stop at nothing to find justice for the man and to prove herself to everyone in the process.

I enjoyed this book. The author wrote a strong willed woman, trying to end sexist stereotypes and I was all for it. Neferet is intelligent and caring. She helps anyone without prejudice. She even takes in strays, whether it’s an animal or even orphan children.

Bener-ib mostly just followed Neferet around and acted as a wallflower but it worked for them.

My only downfall for this book is all of the difficult but yet similar names. I found it tough to keep track of names of the secondary characters.

I am excited about what the author is going to do for book 2 in the series!

When a corpse shows up on the banks of Hani’s country farm, Neferet takes charge in trying to solve the mystery of who did it. This is the first book I have read by this author, and will continue to read more. The story is interesting and flows well. I couldn’t put it down.

Omg I honestly can’t put into words how much I adore this authors work. Ancient Egypt for me is a passion and something I am fascinated by and this authors knowledge and writing really transports me back. The authors attention to historical details as well as writing a unique story is what really brings these books and characters to life for me.

So this is book 2 in Hani’s Daughter Mystery series. This series has come after The Lord Hani Mystery Series, if you haven’t read them I highly recommend them.
So we are back with Neferet (Hani’s daughter) and her friends as they embark on yet another murder mystery today to solve. Neferet is definitely following in her father’s footsteps and she is determined not to let a crime go unsolved no matter the consequences.
When a body is found near the family farm Neferet is determined to find out what happened. When she discovers that it was a cause of murder she then starts the hunt for the murder but the victim wasn’t exactly well liked so with so many suspects will she be able to solve this case.
Was it a case of two lovers getting rid of him so they could be together? Was it something to do with his work and the details of a company he knew? Or was it a member of his family or a angry employee that was pushed to far that cause his death. Neferet has a huge web of lies to unravel to get to the truth and maybe putting herself in danger in the process.

I honestly can’t speak highly enough of this author and their work. If you love murder mysteries with ancient Egyptian history then this is definitely the series for you. I can’t wait to read more.

This is book 2 in the Hani Daughter Mysteries series, and I did not read book 1 prior. I may have had a little extra insight on some of the characters, but it did not really impact my view of the book. This was an interesting murder mystery that takes place in Egypt. You get an interesting perspective as a reader as you follow Neferet and the others as they go on a journey to try to solve a potential murder of a man whose body was found in the water nearby. There are many historical and geographical parts of the book that the author does a great job of including in the story. I felt like I learned a lot of historical information about Egyptian living while reading this book. The story was very interesting and I enjoyed it a lot.

Web of Evil is the second book to the absolutely incredible Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series. N.L. Holmes came back to continue with Neferet and her friends in another fantastic book. I adored book one and of course had to come and read the second one immediately. Once again, the writing is beautiful, the characters are scarily real, and it will hook you in immediately. I recommended the first book, and I recommend this one as well, however definitely read Flowers of Evil first!

Neferet and Bener-ib develop an adventure of mystery and thriller where all can happen. The book takes time to get to the point, it does give you a lot of information that could be incorporated through the story in order to not feel overwhelmed from the first page. For those who enjoy detective stories and complex cultures, this one is all in one good package

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Web of Evil by NL Holmes is a captivating historical mystery novel that takes readers on a thrilling journey through ancient Egypt. The story follows Neferet, a strong-willed and determined young woman, as she and her companions unravel the mystery behind a corpse found near her father’s country house.

The author does a fantastic job of immersing readers in the ancient Egyptian setting, capturing the culture and traditions of the time with vivid detail. The plot is well-paced and keeps readers on the edge of their seats as the characters navigate through a complex web of deceit and betrayal.

One of the standout aspects of this novel is the strong and empowering female characters, particularly Neferet, who defies societal norms and fights for justice in a male-dominated world. The relationships between the characters are well-developed, providing depth and complexity to the story.

The more they dig the worse it gets. Absolutely love this series and need to go back to read Lord Hani’s series. Neferet and Bener-ib are back and once again find themselves amid a mystery.
It’s summer and the city heat can be overwhelming so the sunets take the orphans they care for to Neferet’s fathers’ country home on weekends to enjoy the open fields cooler air. What started as a calm day quickly became so much more when her father and brother-in-law return from their boat ride on the river with the body of a man that the reed cutters discovered. By the looks of the mans clothing they discover he must be from the local village and possibly a scribe. As midday looms overhead and the sun beats down on them Neferet, Bener-ib, Hani, Mut-tuy and their dog brute head to the village to speak with the mayor. Upon discovering that the mayor is a woman, Neferet is impressed and pleased at such a rare site but quickly discover the man, Tjay, is not well liked in the village and could have a long list of possible suspects in his passing. Meeting his wife Ta-em-resefu only confirms the dislike and the knowledge he did not treat her and their children well. Estranged from his entire family, besides a sister that is described as a strange bond with the entire village is a suspect. The webs begin for form when the wife explains that the mayor is Tjay’s stepmother, but that even she did not side with him and helped to protect his wife and children when he was in a bad mood.
In a village of potential suspects how will they narrow it down? With so many reasons to end him, what was the final straw? Will Neferet succeed before it’s too late and the webs catch her? Once more this author pulls you back in time giving you a historically beautiful world mixed with relatable current day mystery and suspense. We continue to see Neferet grow and evolve as she becomes more experienced in not only reading the people around her but the environment. Will she be able to learn enough to keep out of the traps being laid around her pulling her deeper into the webs of evil that surround what she thought was an innocent scribe taken too soon. I cannot wait to see what will come next from this author.

An entertaining historical cozy mystery drama which had me hooked throughout. The story is set in ancient Egypt during the first year of Tut-ankh-aten/amen’s reign, about 1335 BCE. The author really made me feel as though I had been transported back to this era through the both descriptive narrative and the added historical details. Neferet is the daughter of Hani, who features in another series by the author, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. The storyline follows physicians Neferet and Bener-ib along with their apprentice Mut-tuy. In this story a corpse washes up on the riverbank at Neferet’s father, Lord Hani’s house. The trio then visit the local village in the hopes of identifying the deceased, however, the three women soon become entangled in a web of secrets, lies and murder. Their investigations into a family of weavers put Neferet in danger but they all remain determined to discover the truth. I found the historical notes, character list and glossary at the start of the book very useful. I referred to the character list in particular many times, as the Egyptian names of the era do take a while to get used to. I love the three main characters and the fact that they are three independent and determined women physicians, who are likeable and relatable in 2024 even though they come from 1335 BCE!

Web of Evil is the second book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries. It continues the story of Neferet who is a healer. These cozy mystery books are full of suspense, mystery, intrigue, and an array of characters. I recommend starting these books with Flowers of Evil. There is a diverse arrangement of characters. The story does move between characters when telling the story which gives more information into what is happening in other places throughout.

Web of Evil is the second book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series, an extension of the Lord Hani series. Neferet and her friends work together in this series to solve mysteries in Ancient Egypt. A body is found on the riverbank, and there are many questions. Neferet and Company weave a great story of smart females finding the truth in an ancient civilization. So many little details make the story come to life thanks to the knowledge and research of the author. She uses her experience and knowledge in archaeology to make everything very real and relatable to the reader. Both this and the Lord Hani series bring Ancient Egypt a mysterious edge in a fun and entertaining way. If you enjoy cozy mysteries and historical fiction stories this is a great book to grab.

Web of Evil (Hani's Daughter Mysteries Book 2)Web of Evil by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Web of Evil is the second book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series. I’d recommend starting this series of historical mysteries, set in Ancient Egypt, either at Flowers of Evil which begins the Hani’s Daughter series or at Bird in a Snare which begins the original Lord Hani series. That said, the book includes enough information and backstory that it can be read as a standalone mystery.

I loved the well-researched historical setting in the Lord Hani series and it’s fantastic that the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries shed more light on the work and lives of women in this part of history. Neferet and Bener-ib are great characters who combine their work as physicians, serving people in their community who might not otherwise have access to medical care, with occasional dabbling in detective work. Lord Hani is still on the scene but the story is very much led by Neferet.

This is an intriguing mystery where new information leads Neferet and the readers to question what we think about the case. It’s a real page-turner! And there is plenty going on around the periphery with Neferet’s family and the communities involved in the case. I particularly enjoyed learning more about different styles of weaving and how the industry was run!

This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend the series to fans of historical mystery who are interested in Ancient Egypt or just looking to explore a different part of history.

Web of Evil is the second book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series by N.L Holmes. As I mention in my review for Book #1, this series which is a direct spin-off from ‘The Lord Hani Mystery Series’ – this time following Hani’s daughter, Neferet (and friends), as she gets drawn into some intriguing mysteries.
When a body washes up on the shore of the river outside her father’s rural residence, Neferet and co are on the scene, and begin to follow the clues drawing them into a tangled web of evil.
As with the first book, this is another cozy historical mystery, set in ancient Egypt- with plenty of vivid detailing and descriptions which brought everything to life There is a definite ‘crime and investigation’ aspect to the story, a bit of a ‘whodunnit’ murder mystery that kept me engrossed as I followed along to find out what happened.
As I have come to expect from Ms. Holmes, the story is woven with wonderfully rich historical details, texture, depth, interesting characters, adventure, intrigue, suspense, dramatic developments, emotion, tension, secrets, lies, family dynamics, and danger —-
Looking forward to ‘Wheel of Evil’ (Book #3)
Happy Reading…

Thank you, N.L Holmes!

Hani’s daughter Neferet is caught up in another mystery. But like father like daughter, she can’t always know what she is going to get caught up in a web of lies and deceit.
Web of Evil is another cleverly built story in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries a historical cosy mystery. It is full of murder, mystery, intrigue, drama, suspense, danger, secrets, lies and a lot more just waiting for you to discover. It is a bumpy ride with twisty turns that makes it hard to put down.
It is set in Ancient Egypt one of the many places I would love to visit. I love the historical details that NL knows so well and masterfully incorporates throughout this mystery. This fictional story is full of rich and vibrant and vivid and easily imagined that it seems so real.
What at first appears to be a simple task leads Nefereti and her friends in the path of a murder and are soon entangled in a nightmare as things become deadly. AS the title suggest it is definitely a web of evil.
I look forward to the next adventure.

This was a fascinating read. I quite enjoy this author’s books as she is quite the researcher on the subject of Egypt and it’s history. Her timelines are fairly accurate. She puts maps, glossary’s and lists of characters in her stories to help you define and get through the reading. I first became acquainted with the MC in Flowers of Evil (book 1). I found the mystery in this story to be just as intriguing. Both the characters and the details are so well-thought out. This is a very interesting story that I would definitely recommend.

Blanche has an adventure in Vietnam while using her amateur sleuthing skills to find Jean’s mother. So many secrets and so much history woven through this story! You can tell the author either researched or has personal experience with Vietnam. It is so well written it’s like you are on the journey with Blanche!

It’s a good read and I may very well circle back and read the first two books in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great mystery story that beautifully portrays the customs and traditions of Vietnam both during and after the Vietnam War. The parts that take place during the Vietnam War are so realistic and frighteningly sorrowful, that to feel the fear both sides must have been experiencing, was just heartbreaking. The paths that Jean and Blanche travel around Vietnam, and the people they meet while on their hunt for answers to what happened to their parents, take the reader into places you would not even imagine exist. I love the variety of characters that we meet throughout this story, especially the ones working to help Jean find her missing mother, they all show such deep love for the beauty of family bonds, embracing both Jean and Blanche as one of their own. The author did a great job on her research and gathering background information to keep this story true to the facts in her detailing, making the characters, and the descriptions of the areas she develops made the story come to life. I was on the edge of my seat, cheering for both Jean and Blanche to find the answers that they were seeking along their journey together.
