The North Wind Descends The Lord Hani Series book 4 By N. L. Holmes
In book 4 we see more of Lord Hani’s children as they are getting older and are becoming more established. As with the other books, Lord Hani and Maya have a Mystery to solve. Each book includes plenty of historical background that keeps you filled in on their environment. The author does a good job setting the family background and dianamentics. This book can be read as a stand alone or as I recommend in order.

Scepter of Flint The lord Hani mystery book 3 By N.L. Holmes
Again author, N.L. Holmes has combined historical fiction with mystery. I love it when an author can transport you to another country and not only give you a mystery to solve but give you a real sense of being in that country, and environment. At the same time reading how two plots are woven into one story keeps the reader enthralled in the book, Lord Hani and his assistant has to solve the mystery of the tomb-robberies and the plague that threatens all of the people. I highly recommend this series to everyone.

Holmes – Review by Kimberly Griffiths
The North Wind Descends (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 4) by N.L. Holmes, is another excellent book. I can’t say enough good things about N.L.Holmes and her excellent ancient history novels. Besides her artistic use of the English language to evoke signs and sounds that take the reader to ancient Egypt, I love the way her characters sound like any normal family you know. Not only is the Lord Hani hot on the trail of a new mystery, but this mystery is also wrapped in family love. This is quite a contrast to the villain in the story. Time is never wasted with an N.L.Holmes book.

Holmes – Review by Jonell Collins
Scepter of Flint (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 3) by N.L. Holmes is another masterful tale. The rich tapestry that N.L.Holmes weaves in her wonderful Lord Hani mysteries will keep you turning page after page. Set in ancient Egypt, it is a historical fiction lovers dream. The mystery of the tomb robbers is not the only plot in this tale, but it seems quite ironic that a plague is also a part of this story, in view of our own current events. Lord Hani’s love for his family and his countrymen is a big win for me. I love how Holmes accurate descriptions make this story come alive and I love the historical notes she includes. Another win for N.L.Holmes!

Holmes – Review by Jonell Collins
The Scepter of Flint is my favorite Lord Hani mystery so far. I enjoyed the dual issue of both a high profile tomb robbery and the political ramifications of investigating foreign diplomats as potential suspects. I’m also a huge fan of the time period, set during the reign of the immortally glamorous queen Nefertiti and her notoriously unpopular husband, Akhenaten. This is one of the most interesting historical points in Ancient Egypt, and you get to explore both the events of the time and N.L. Holmes’ layered plot and fun characters.

Holmes – Review by Jennifer Wolbeck
This is the 4th book in the Lord Hani Mysteries series. I really can’t praise these books enough. They are full of Ancient Egyptian history and mystery which are my two favourite things. The authors knowledge of the time period is very good and they really give you a sense of what life would be like in the times of Ancient Egypt.
Lord Hani is back and when he is honoured by the king he wonders why? All through the kings reign Lord Hani has been a thorn in the kings side so why now is he being honoured. Things aren’t what they seem of that Hani is sure.
Add to this a task he is asked to complete with means getting his daughter involved in court politics and Hani struggles to protect her and keep her out of things.
Why did the king give him this honour? Can he protect his daughter and stop the court politics from involving her or is it too late to protect her anymore.

Holmes – Review by Kerry Carr
The North Wind Descends is the fourth book in N.L. Holmes’ fascinating Lord Hani Mysteries series. Like the previous books, it is an enticing mystery with a vivid historical setting in Ancient Egypt. Holmes draws on a strong academic background to build a setting that is full of detail and accuracy of everyday and court life. The main duo, Hani and Maya, are something of an Egyptian Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (Holmes’ nom de plume leaves readers in no doubt of this influence!). Maya, Hani’s son-in-law, is more than happy to assist the newly decorated Master of the King’s Stable, as he is always excited to go home and tell the stories of their adventures. As the series has progressed, Hani’s children are getting older and more established, and so add more layers to the story. Hani’s son Pa-kiki, who is working as a scribe, joins his father on his parts of his adventure. Hani’s daughter Neferet’s work as a healer has given her access to, and opinions about, the royal family which may well get her into danger. My favourite thing about this series is how real the world feels. Holmes gives us plenty of details, such as what food is eaten and even what smells there are, without drawing away from the pacing of the story. The book really transports readers to a different time and place. For me, this is a five-star read. I’d recommend it to mystery fans wanting something a bit different, as well as anyone who needs a change of scenery without leaving their homes!

Holmes – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
This series has kept me going from the first book. I highly recommend reading the first books before reading this one as you will get more enjoyment out of the series. This book sent me on a roller coaster ride. I felt compelled to keep reading. The story kept my attention from the first sentence until the last word. The main character Hani is a great detective who is trying to figure out who is robbing the tombs. He is also having a slight problem with the witnesses ending up dead. Can Hani figure out who is behind the robberies and murders? I highly recommend this book and the whole series.

Holmes – Review by Erica Fish
The North Wind Descends is the 4th book in this series. This was a wonderfully written story that is full of tantalizing situations and uncertainty. I’ve enjoyed every Lord Hani story so far and this one didn’t disappoint. Along with the other 3, this book has great Egyptian history and details. I don’t think it’s necessary to read these in order but I would recommend it. N.L. Holmes has a great way of story building, don’t miss out on this series.

Holmes – Review by Meg Tyrrell
The North Wind Descends is a delightful dive into ancient Egypt. If you enjoy historical settings and submerging yourself into ancient cultures, this book keeps you pleasantly engaged. The story follows Lord Hani on a diplomatic mission that unravels as he tackles a murder mystery, deceitful ploys and political intrigue.
My only nitpick would be the pacing. The narrative could have been trimmed down to focus more on the plot. I adore historical fiction, but sometimes even I felt bogged down by the ancient names and terminology. Otherwise, the characters really shone through and I was invested in Lord Hani’s adventure. You don’t have to worry about reading the series out of order either because this was my first Lord Hani mystery and it wasn’t a problem that it was the fourth book. Overall, The North Wind Descends is a pleasant read and a fun escape into the past.

I’ve followed this series from the first one. The way N.L. Holmes is able to take you to Egypt is fascinating. This time Hani needs to discover who’s robbing tombs. It was a great read with the same great writing I’ve become use to with this author. It’s a great series and I think they should be read in order.

Holmes – Review by Meg Tyrrell
‘The North Wind Descends’ is book four in, ‘The Lord Hani Mysteries’ series and having read the previous books in the series I was looking forward to this novel 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. Set in ancient Egypt, around 1340 BCE, Lord Hani, an Egyptian Diplomat and his assistant Maya have another crime mystery to solve. Hani is confused when the king starts honouring him but he must not let that get in the way of discovering the identity of a man who was responsible for killing a foreign ambassador right under the roof of the Egyptian commissioner in Kumidi. As well as being a diplomat Hani is also a loving family man and so he is concerned when the queen of the new coregent gives him a special task which may involve Hani’s nineteen year old daughter as he does not want her caught up in court politics. Hani therefore must see justice done but in away that protects his family.
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. The Glossary of Places, Terms, and Gods, is also a useful addition at the beginning of the book and one which I referred back to at times. The author really brings ancient Egypt to life with her wonderfully descriptive narrative and world building and this really helps set the scene for this novel. Hani makes a great main character as he is well defined and is both relatable and likeable and he really brings the plot together. 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. The twists and turns kept me guessing and I enjoyed figuring out the mystery element of the book alongside Lord Hani. I look forward to future books in this enjoyable and engaging series.

Holmes – Review by Jennifer Gordon
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.

Holmes – Review by Kerry Carr
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.

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!

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 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.

Holmes – Review by Jennifer Gordon
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.

Holmes continues to keep me glued to my seat with this latest series installment. Her attention to detail lends itself to immediate immersion into Hani’s world.

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.

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!

Scepter of Flint (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 3) by N.L. Holmes is another is a historical mystery story set in ancient Egypt with Lord Hani once again at the helm. 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 Descendsis 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!

Holmes – Review by Angela Hayes
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?

Holmes – Review by Angela Hayes
The North Winds Descend by N.L. Holmes a fabulous four-star read. This is number four in the Lord Hani series, but you don’t need to have read them all, as they will keep you up to date, there are recurring characters and if you like a good mystery then you will be worth going back as they really are great. Once again Hani and brings his daughter into the fold, also into danger, you will be on the edge of your seat and leave you wondering. These mysteries just keep getting better and better, honestly you will just be kept guessing at every turn.

Holmes – Review by Sara Oxton
Scepter of Flint by N.L. Holmes a fantastic four-star read. This is number three in the Lord Hani series and brings us a great slice of drama, as always, don’t worry if you haven’t read the first two, it’s not necessary. Lord Hani and Maya will bring the drama to you, it will sweep you up and envelop you, having you feel like you are helping figure the tomb robbing out. There is lots going on in this and lots of action and drama, plague, tomb robberies and more twists that a game of twister will bring you in to the story. Review by @saraoxo

Scepter of Flint by NL Holmes is the third book in The Lord Hani Mysteries. I recommend reading this series in order because the characters have grown through the series. Lord Hani is back and mystery is afoot. There are tomb robberies and mysterious deaths for him to figure out. I really appreciate the time and research the author has put into this book and the others in the series. This is a fantastic story full of mystery and historical fiction. I have enjoyed this series and it keeps getting better. I look forward to reading more in this great series and seeing where the mysteries of Lord Hani go next. I will be grabbing more from this author in the near future.
