Murder Makes Waves (Jack and Frances mysteries, #3)Murder Makes Waves by Carmen Radtke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this novel, as Carmen Radtke is a new author to me. I loved the cover and it drew me in right away. When I sat down to read this book I felt as if I was whisked away to the far past when sailing was a luxury and way of life. The mystery behind this story was fabulously written and engaging. I almost felt as if I was a murder mystery dinner play having the time of my life figuring out who dun it with the wonderful cast of characters that make up this book. This is the third book in the Jack and Frances mysteries but I had zero problem jumping right in and loving France and Jack. I am excited to find out what they get up to in the first two books now that I have devoured this one. If mysteries are your thing this is a series you don’t want to miss out on!

This is the 3rd book in the Lord Hani Mysteries series. I love these books as it contains my two favourite subjects. Ancient Egypt and mystery.  When I first started the series I thought it would be hard to follow with all the ancient names and God’s but the way they are written makes them easy to follow and most of the characters are in all 3 books so I recommend reading them from the beginning.

In this book we are back with Lord Hani who has been given a new assignment. There has been some tomb robberies but who is responsible for them? With the new prince taking over and changes to everyone’s way of life Hani doesn’t know who to trust. Could it be that the new Prince is actually behind the robberies? Lord Hani has a impossible task to get to the bottom of this mystery.

The North Wind Descends is the 4th book in the Lord Hani Mysteries series written by N. L. Holmes. The series takes place back in history when Egypt was a thriving country. In this book Lord Hani is being celebrated for his accomplishments and has been given a new title. He’s not very sure why this is happening because he tends to get on the King’s wrong side.

The author does a wonderful job of bringing us readers into ancient Egypt and makes us feel like we have been transported there. I also love the mystery, danger, and intrigue that Lord Hani must work through to find answers while keeping his family safe.

One of my favorite kinds of books to read is a historical fiction novel. I love to picture the way things looked back in ancient times. N.L. Holmes describes ancient Egypt beautifully adding to the task at hand for Lord Hani, and his assistant Maya. They must find out who is robbing several tombs while a plague is taking the lives of rich and poor alike.
I am sad to say that I have not yet head the pleasure of reading the first two books in the series. I will definitely be reading them very soon.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder Makes Waves by Carmen Radtke a fantastic four-star read. All aboard the SS London, in the charming and witty mystery, I didn’t realise this was book three in the series until I had already picked it up, but I didn’t feel like I missed anything. Frances, Jack and Uncle Sal all felt real and full characters, I didn’t miss any back story, so I loved that, it also has some great other characters as well. This was good as you could imagine yourself aboard in the 1930’s soaking up the atmosphere, I did feel it missed something, but I couldn’t put my finger in it.

The North Wind Descends (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 4) by N.L. Holmes. I have truly loved this historical mystery series. This is the 4th entry and its just as good if not better than the previous 3! Its the continuing saga of Lord Hani and in this installment he’s trying to figure out why the King is honoring him. He is trying to find a murderer and at the same time keep his family safe. The new Queen seems to have a weird fascination with his daughter and will he be able to do his job and keep her safe as well? Set in Ancient Egypt I feel as if I have traveled there because of the wonderful descriptions. Hani is first and foremost a family man but he is also a highly regarded diplomat and will do whatever it takes to keep peace even when he may have to cross a line! I recommend reading these in order to get the full effect. You will not be disappointed!

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed reading the history parts of the story and look forward to reading more from this author. This is a well written story that the author’s attention to details made me feel as if I was actually in those places. The characters bring to life a life of war and the challenges that go along with it. They made the story engaging and interesting to read. This is not my normal read but I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book.

The North Wind Descends (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 4) by N.L. Holmes is another exciting tale in this historical mystery set in ancient Egypt and Lord Hani. In this book we see him and his daughter once again working together solving the latest mystery and yet again finding themselves in the midst of danger, lies and secrets. This complex and fast paced story is mixed with history and fiction. NL knows how to keep an audience by bringing the story to life with her words and details.

Scepter of FlintScepter of Flint by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

‘Scepter of Flint’ is the third book in, ‘The Lord Hani Mysteries’ series and having read the previous two books in the series I was particularly looking forward to this latest instalment and was definitely not disappointed. It can be read as a standalone story, however I feel that the reader will enjoy the novels more if they are read in order. I was pleased to be back with Lord Hani, an Egyptian Diplomat and his assistant Maya. This story was set during the Great Jubilee of the Aten, and Hani is sent to investigate when a mysterious series of tomb robberies occur and any witnesses to the robberies die. A dreadful plague is also ravaging the country and the palace where Hani’s physician daughter is. Hani has to make sense of what is happening between the tomb raids, the plague and Egypt’s ally, Naharin now being in the hands of a usurper. Hani also realises that he has an enemy, but who is it.
The author really brings ancient Egypt to life with her wonderfully descriptive narrative and world building and this really sets the scene for this novel. The authors knowledge and research shines through in her writing and I found the list of characters at the beginning of the book very helpful as there are a lot of characters to keep up with. Again Hani makes a great main character as he is well defined and relatable as well as likeable and he really brings the plot together along with Maya, who is another fascinating character. The storyline flows well and the plot is fast paced and full of action, drama and mystery which had me gripped from start to finish. I look forward to future books in this enjoyable and engaging series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

‘Murder Makes Waves’ is a cozy crime mystery which is the third book in Radtke’s ‘Jack and Frances Mysteries’ series which are set in the early 1930s. Although part of a series this novel can be read as a standalone story. Main characters Frances Palmer, her fiancé Jack Sullivan, and Frances Uncle Sal, aka “Salvatore the Magnificent” are on the “Empress of the Sea”, on a voyage from Australia to England. It’s a dream come true for Frances and she’s looking forward to the glamour of the voyage and the mimosas and masquerades, however she wasn’t expecting a murder. Having been hired to entertain the passengers with their daring stunts and magic tricks they soon realise that the cheerful atmosphere does not continue below deck, which is full of larceny and jealousy. Following a costume ball a passenger is found dead and one of Frances’s new friends is accused of their murder. Convinced her friend is innocent Frances and Jack decide to investigate the case for themselves. The pair find themselves up against a cunning murderer and along with their new friends they must discover the truth among all the deception.
This was an enjoyable and engaging story set during the charm of the ‘Golden Age’ and the glamour of a voyage from Australia to England. The storyline is fast paced and the plot is full of twists which had me both hooked and kept me guessing until the end. The characters are all wonderfully defined and all add something different to the overall story. Thanks to the authors detailed descriptive narrative I felt fully immersed in the novel and look forward to reading the previous books in the series to catch up with Jack and Frances.

Scepter of FlintScepter of Flint by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scepter of Flint is the third book in N.L. Holmes’ Lord Hani Mysteries series. Drawing on Holmes’ knowledge of history and archaeology, this series is set in a vivid Ancient Egyptian world.
Lord Hani is called upon to investigate a series of tomb robberies, in the hopes that he can do so discretely and get the embarrassing matter wrapped up before it threatens to undermine Egypt’s standing on an international stage. But from the start things are complicated, and Hani learns not only that there are few people he can trust, but also that he must be very careful to earn the trust of others.
The mystery alone makes this a real page-turner, but what I really loved about this book was how much detail there is. There are moments where perhaps it feels like we are getting a bit too much information at once (although that might be my fault for jumping in at book three…) but mostly it adds to the story rather than feeling like a history lesson.
For me, this is a five-star book. I really enjoyed it and am keen to get on to the next book (and then go back and fill in the gaps for myself with the first two…). I would recommend it to anyone who had an Ancient Egypt phase growing up (so that’s pretty much everyone, right?) and who enjoys puzzling through a good mystery!

The North Wind Descends by NL Holmes is the fourth book in the Lord Hani mysteries series. Hani is once more thrown into political intrigue and might bring his teenage daughter into the political fold. This series gets better with each and every book. I do recommend reading the series in order because the books do build on each other especially concerning the character development but most importantly all the inner workings and politics Hani is faced throughout his life. I really enjoy all the political twists and turns and the historical element of the story. I have read other books in the same region but not during the time. I really look forward to reading more from this series and from this author in the future.

When I first read the synopsis for this book I was a little intrigued, it sounded good so thought I would give it a go. When I first started reading it I wondered if I would enjoy it especially since I’ve not read the first two in the series but I absolutely did. It was a really good read. The author’s writing was detailed and descriptive which enabled me to imagine what I was reading and for me this made the story even more enjoyable. I loved the main characters Frances and Jack as well as some great secondary characters too. I will definitely be reading the first two in the series now and I am looking forward to more from this series also. This book was a great introduction to Ms Radtke as a new author!

The Lord Hani Mysteries are interesting historical mysteries. I have found myself reading these books in one sitting. I think that this book is the best so far in the series. The series is set in Ancient Egypt. N.L. Homes does an outstanding job of writing in the time period. The details are amazing and can be seen in my mind’s eye. The characters are engaging. Lord Hani is trying to keep his daughter safe from the new Queen. He is also looking for a murderer trying to keep his family safe. Can Hani keep his family safe? Can he find the murderer? Will the King keep honoring him? I recommend reading this series and read them in order so you will get more enjoyment out of the series.

Murder Makes Waves (Jack and Frances mysteries Book 3) by Carmen Radtke. I absolutely loved this book. Its my favorite genre which helps but the characters were so fun! Its the story of Frances Palmer, her fiance Jack Sullivan and her Uncle Sal. The three are hired to work on “The Empress of the Sea” a ship that is travelling from Australia to England. They have been hired to entertain the passengers on the ship with magic and stunts but when one of the passengers is murdered the trio decide to investigate to clear the name of a new friend. Set in 1931 I loved the description of the clothes, food and entertainment it made me feel as if I was actually there. I haven’t read the prior 2 books but I was not lost at all. I will go back and read them because I enjoyed this one so much! Do yourself a favor and pick up one or all of these books! You won’t be disappointed!

Sceptre of Flint by N.L. Holmes is the third book in the Lord Hani Mystery series. This book is every bit as interesting and detailed as the other books in the series and really will draw you into its pages.
With this book you are taken back into Lord Hani and his family and it really is like slipping back into a book you are part way through. It doesn’t ever feel like you have left these characters behind. The story was as well developed and complex as I have come to expect and was just as enjoyable as all the others.
If you enjoy historical fiction then I would definitely recommend this series to you. It is evident that the author has out a lot of effort into creating a historically accurate story and it certainly pays off. This is a brilliant book and an overall brilliant series.

Holmes is quickly climbing my list of must read authors. I don’t find historical fiction often that dive so completely into ancient Egypt and still create characters that are relatable. Hani is at it again, protecting his family and solving another mystery. I love watching Hani develop throughout the series as well as his family members and colleagues. This is a rich story that builds upon itself and is best enjoyed in series order. Extremely well written. I just love these books!

Murder Makes Waves is the third book in the Jack and Frances Mystery series by Carmen Radtke. This is my first read by Ms. Radtke, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the book. I was definitely intrigued and as I love a good cozy mystery, I happily snapped up a copy to explore.
The story is a cleverly woven historical murder mystery set in 1931, on a cruise ship on the high seas. The story is full of danger, jealousy, deception, murder, theft, crime & investigation- and with a cunning adversary to deal with. I enjoyed meeting Jack and Frances, along with Uncle Sal, Aunt Mildred, the other secondary characters, and of course Tinkerbell the Corgi.
Even though this is the third book in the series, it can definitely be read as a standalone, without feeling like you are missing any details. The characters did intrigue me enough to want to go back and read the other two books to see what Jack and Frances have been up to previously. I am sure to learn a great deal more about them, as well as backstory information that I am looking forward to discovering.
A fun read.

Thank you, Carmen Radtke!

NL’s real-life experiences, knowledge and passion for this period is easy to see through her writing. The storyline is original and engaging and is a good thriller where the plots have lots of twists and turns. Hani is in the midst of a plague and tombs are being robbed. Are they one and the same? Will he be able to stop the plague, find the murderers and save the tombs?

The North Wind Descends is the fourth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. This is an historical mystery set in ancient Egypt- with plenty of historical detailing, intrigue, drama, and interesting characters. I am enjoying following Hani along on his mystery solving escapades- and the Lord Hani series is definitely my favourite of all the N.L Holmes books. I love the historical details of the story and the authors passion for the period- her in-depth knowledge and familiarity with the historical aspects of the times really does enhance to the whole atmosphere of the story.
Hani is a fantastic character, who along with the rest of the cast, help to bring this story alive. He is a loving family man, as well as a respected diplomat. This mystery tests Hani, again, and brings with it more political agendas. Murder, intrigue, family, and political tension made for a great read.
Looking forward to seeing what Hani gets up to in the next book!

Thank you, N.L Holmes!

Scepter of Flint is the third book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. It is an historical cosy mystery set in ancient Egypt.
We team up with Hani, an Egyptian diplomat, once more as the mystery unfolds. With mysterious tomb robberies, the plague, politics, and troubling personal developments- Hani will have a lot to process if he is to figure it all out.
We are transported to ancient Egypt- which the author does a brilliant job of recreating and bringing to life. Her attention to detail definitely adds an extra element of interest to her stories. As with the first two book in the series, the author’s knowledge and passion for the period really shines through in her story-telling and writing adding wonderful depth and richness to the story/series.
I wonder what awaits Hani next?

Thank you, N.L Holmes!

The North Wind Descends by N.L. Holmes is the fourth book in the Lord Hani Mystery series. You don’t have to read this book in order however I would advise doing so as it follows the same character.
This book is a great addition to the series and it was so easy to fall straight back into it as if it never left off. These books are always so well written and detailed you can’t help but get pulled into the story. This book was exactly what I have come to expect from this author and it was thoroughly enjoyable. It is so interesting to see the main character navigate the Sistine he finds himself in. I couldn’t wait to see how things would progress. This was a brilliant book and I would highly recommend the series.

Murder Makes Waves: A Cozy Jack and Frances mystery by Carmen Radtke is the third book in the Jack and Frances mystery series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. This book reminded me of a good old fashioned mystery story and was made even more exciting by the fact that it is set in the 1930’s. The author does a great job of creating a vivid picture of that time.
Although I haven’t read any of the other books in the series I found it really easy to connect with the characters. They were easy to relate to and added depth to the story. The overall story was intriguing and definitely kept me guessing right to the end. This is a great book and one I would definitely recommend.
