Welcome to Litsy!

Reviewing her predecessor's files, Tetisheri comes across the case of a young scribe who had vanished a couple of years before. Her 1st enquiries are interrupted by 2 fishermen's discovery of a skeleton whose feet are encased in cement, the semi-legendary Rhakotis sandal.

Despite the occasional appearance of contemporary preoccupations, this was a procedural mystery with what seemed to me a good sense of time and place for the setting.

The second in series set in Cleopatra‘s Egypt featuring Tetisheri who serves at The Eye, an investigator. Tetisheri, and her boyfriend, Apollodorus grew up with the Queen, who they call Pati 😊. Here The Eye investigates the deaths of two men found drowned with their feet cased in cement.

I have no way of knowing how accurate the history is in this series, but they are fun reads.
