  • The Scarab Heart on Oct. 28, 2013

    Firstly I want to say how very impressed I am with the amount of research that has been undertaken. Every effort seems to have been made to contain the actions and beliefs of all the characters in keeping with the period the novel is set in. Lizzie's adventures on an Egyptian archaeological dig can be read as a mystery, every episode providing clues as the story unfolds. The writing flows naturally and kept my interest throughout. Also embedded in the novel is Merit's story, an ancient Egyptian Princess and her history is very adeptly used to define Lizzie's actions on the Dig. So well has the individual characters been described that when I got to the end of the novel, I realised how cleverly the author has covered his tracks to give us a surprise ending. And Lizzie is now ready for her next adventure as I gather more is to come.

    The events described here in this most fascinating story of Lizzie, our young Victorian heroine, reflects the beliefs of an age when anything supernatural could happen and did. Do read this and stretch your imagination. It's a wonderful tale of a young girl's 'powers' and will stay in your memory for a long time. The ending isn't an ending - more is to come
