I'm not going to lie, I'm usually not a big fan of Wilbur Smith's work. For whatever reason, I've never clicked with any of his stories that I've encountered. That is, until now. I found myself absolutely intrigued by The New Kingdom, partially for the writing and partially for the fact that the mystery is set in ancient Egypt. The concept is really neat so I think this might actually end up being the Wilbur Smith book that I give a shot!
