My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Web of Evil is another great mystery in Hani’s daughter Mysteries, even though this is book 2 you could definitely read it as a standalone. I love the glossary, historical notes and character list, it does come in handy.
All of the characters are very well written and likeable. This is set in Ancient Egypt, a nice cozy historical drama full of murder, danger, secrets, drama, lies, suspense and a whole lot more to keep you hooked from the beginning.

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

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 (Hani’s Daughter Mysteries) by N.L. Holmes. This is the second book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries and even though this isn’t my favorite genre, I’m loving this series. They are so good and very hard to put down once you start them.

This is the second book in the Hani’s Dauguter Mysteries. We continue to follow Neferet as she finds herself trying to discover who the corpse that has washed up is and who killed him. Neferet may end up in danger herself as she takes on this mystery. I enjoy getting to know more about these characters. I also love how the author includes Egyptian tidbits throughout the book.

Having read the first book in this series and being unable to put it down, I knew as soon as I saw this I just had to read it. My excitement was completely justified because this was yet another extremely well written and creative storyline that I truly could not put down unless I was forced too. Damn my family insisting on eating LOL. Filled with so much drama, danger, mystery, murder and lies just to name a few things, this really is a book you don’t want to miss. I know I have said this about this authors writing before but this story truly comes to life in your minds eye as you read it, thanks to such vivid descriptions, that truly make you feel like you are really there.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

This is the second book in the series and a great follow up to the first book. I loved getting involved with this main character again and the mystery she is trying to solve. I was intrigued from the word go and thoroughly enjoyed the journey the author took you on.
As I have come to expect with books from this author, it was detailed, well written and complex. The way it was written made it so easy to picture everything happened and, for me, made the story even better to read. I am already looking forward to reading more.about these characters!

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.

4 Stars

 

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.

I have read a few books by this author, and this one may be my favorite. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked it up as it isn’t my usual genre, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance. The vivid description of imagery alone was enough to make this stand out, and I really felt surrounded by each scene. You get pulled into each character’s life and feel incredibly invested in such a short amount of time. There is plenty of action and danger, but also passion and strength throughout this book. I highly recommend picking this up even if it doesn’t seem like your cup of tea. I believe this author will pleasantly surprise you with the wonderful world they create surrounding the emperor’s daughter!

The Moon That Fell from Heaven by N. L. Holmes is a historical fiction story about Ehli-nikkalu, the eldest daughter of the Hittite emperor. She is married to one of her father’s vassals in a political alliance. When Ehli-nikkalu discovers some dangerous information she does her best to try to get it to her father. Along the way, she adopts her scribe’s children who were left orphaned when he tried to deliver Ehi-nikkalu’s message. This story was a good read. It has so much information as well as plenty of twists to keep you engaged. I felt so much sympathy for Ehli-nikkalu. Times were so hard for women who could not bear children, especially queens. In her new adopted family, she finds the love that she’s been craving and you just hope everything works out for her. The story does take a bit of time to get going but it is well worth the read.

This is book 5 in the Empire at Twilight series. I have to admit this author is one of my favourites of all time. I love the stories. I find myself completely captivated by these historical stories. The author’s attention to detail and research into the times and the historical happenings really gives this story dimension and makes the reader feel transported back to a different era. The attention that the author pays to the characters making them fit into the time period the story is set into just adds to the incredible world building that the author is able to accomplish.

This is a story full of twists and turns that keeps you hooked. With danger, intrigue and murder all playing a part as well as decit and political alliances going wrong This story has something for everyone.

Ehli-nikkalu is the daughter of the Hittite Emperor. She has considered herself not loved by her family and that is confirmed for her when she is married off to a man who doesn’t care for her either as part as a political alliance. Ehli-nikkalu is unhappy and wants to leave her husband so when she finds proof that her husband is plotting to go against her father and remove him from the Throne she knows she needs to stop this from happening. Can she get word to her father in time to stop her husbands planned attack? Will her family start to see her as a valued member of the family finally? And when the 2 people she entrusts to take the message to her father are found dead does she stand any chance at all of letting her father know before it too late? What danger is she putting herself in and what will be the consequences should her husband finds out she is planning to betray him.

As someone who loves history this author’s books definately speak to me and grip me from the beginning. The author is amazing at bringing the past into the future and allowing the reader an opportunity to experience life in a different time period than our own.
