A murder investigation is underway as it’s not just one murder of an Egyptologist that takes place but three. Professor Van Bussell, an Egyptologist working on the Queen Nefertiti exhibit is the third Egyptologist to die. Could his death be related to the other two Egyptologist victims who also worked on the exhibition? This light murder mystery has a lovely plot, with a few things going on, but I won’t reveal it all, as I don’t want to spoil your time when you come to read this clever book. Full Bodied, is for readers who love reading any of the Agatha Christie whodunnit books. This is a lighthearted story with murders taking place, is just right for readers who don’t like reading hard hitting crime books, but love reading a mystery murder without the grisly scenes. I can see book clubs having a good natter, about Full Bodied by Steve Exeter. Nefertiti is one of the most well-known Egyptian Queens.
