Bloomsbury presents Death of an Eye by Dana Stabenow, read by Marguerite Gavin.

'Outstanding' Washington Post.

ALEXANDRIA, 47 BC.

For three centuries, the House of Ptolemy has governed the Kingdom of Egypt. Cleopatra – seventh of her name – rules from Alexandria, that beacon of commerce and learning that stands between the burning sands of the desert and the dark waters of the Middle Sea.

But her realm is beset by ethnic rivalries, aristocratic feuds and courtly intrigues. Not only that, she must contend with the insatiable appetite of Julius Caesar who needs Egyptian grain and Egyptian gold to further his ambitions. The world is watching the young Queen, waiting for a misstep...

And now her most trusted servant – her Eye – has been murdered and a vast shipment of newly minted coin stolen. Cleopatra cannot afford for the coins to go unrecovered or the murderers unpunished, so she asks childhood friend, Tetisheri Nebenteru, to retrace the dead Eye's footsteps.

Tetisheri will find herself plunged into the shadowy heart of Alexandria. As she sifts her way through a tangle of lies and deceit, she will discover that nothing can be taken at face value, that she can't trust anyone – not even the Queen herself.©2018 Dana Stabenow (P)2023 Tantor Media ILC Ancient Historical Historical Fiction Mystery Thriller & Suspense Fiction Middle East

Very in-depth and engaging world building.
It took a few minutes to get into with all of the unfamiliar words and jargon being thrown at you, but once you’re in, you’re hooked!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. As someone who absolutely loves history and ancient Egypt, this gave me feeling of getting what I’ve always dreamed of…being a [time traveling] fly on the wall!
Great narration, captivating story

I love her Alaska books, and now I’m learning to love Alexandria. Great characters and plot twists everywhere.

I love Kate Shugak but an Egyptian Kate? Not so much. Jarring, for some reason. That is my 15 word minimum, plus.

The audio stopped around Chapter 9 with the “Your preview is at an end” message.
