Summary

After rising to prominence for his role investigating the case of Jack the Ripper, former Detective Inspector Daniel Wilson is now retired. Known for his intelligence, his investigative skills, and most of all his discretion, he's often consulted when a case must be solved quickly and quietly. So when a body is found in the Egyptian collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, Wilson is called in.

As he tries to uncover the identity of the dead man and the circumstances surrounding his demise, Wilson must contend with an unhelpful police inspector and Abigail Fenton, the archaeologist who discovered the body and is determined to protect the Egyptian collection. Can they find a way to work together to solve the mystery?

The story was okay but the narrator used very annoying strident voices for the female heroine which pretty much ruined it for me. He was fine for the male voices though.

Annoying narration

It passed a pleasant few hours but the narration, particularly of the female characters, nearly drove me up the wall. The narrator managed to make Abigail, in particular, screechy and hysterical. As a result I just wanted to slap Abigail most of the time.
As far as the story itself went, it was an interesting premise. I like the main character Wilson, but I guess the who dunit by halfway through the book.

Predictable
