Review: Well paced, witty adventure, steeped in Egyptian Mythology.

More gods, monsters and mysteries in this fantastic sequel to Hero for Hire. Again Pratt writes a well paced, witty adventure, steeped in ancient myths and bursting with mythological gods and monsters.In this book Eno heads to Egypt and although I missed the pantheon of Greek gods, I liked the Egyptian gods and mythology almost as much. Again loved the main character's sense of humor and wry observations. I do find the James Bond-ish female encounters worthy of a little eye-rolling, but they are amusing and fit with the whole "hero" theme.I am also very thankful to the author for concluding each book with a solid ending (and not a predictable one). I've been getting a bit sick of series books that come to a lurching halt with few to none of my questions answered. Pratt pulls no such pranks on her readers, and I feel I could have picked this book up without having read the first one and still enjoyed it.
