Good Plot & Narration

I love Egypt, the mystery, adventures, and the stories that reveal new insights make good reading. Given audio the narration added to this story for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Seemed too short

Would you try another book from Nathaniel Burns and/or Gregg Rizzo?

I really like this series by Nathaniel Burns. I'm not the greatest fan of Greg Rizzo's narration, but it is okay.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I feel like it was an odd place to end the book. I was completely expecting another chapter and then all of a sudden I'm hearing the ending credits...I almost feel it would have made more sense to cut the story shorter in a suspenseful wait.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration is okay, a little slower than I'd like, but not awful. I've heard worse.
