River God

Not sure why I picked this one up in the first place, but it was a worthwhile read. The first 30 pages made me contemplate giving up on reading it any further as
it began to sound like a saucy romance of ancient Egyptian nature. Somewhere after the 50th page or so the plot begins to unfold and a great story of deception and devotion unravels. There are a few places where the outcome of an event is telegraphed to you but it does not take away from the suspense enough to ruin it.
