I
found it quite interesting that the author has decided to name the main character
in his book Rosetta.
While
Rosetta is mysterious, beautiful young woman who has several unusual
disabilities, she performed a strange ritual at the funeral for Professor Alan
Hargreaves using an ancient language only a small handful of individuals can
understand. When Graham Chandlers learns
she’s the late professor’s adopted he’s quite surprised.
The
mystery begins later when he receives the professor’s journals and upon
examination believes something had been going at the dig which hasn’t been
reported. And just like famed Rosetta Stone from around 196 BC helped to provide
the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyph, Chandler is the key
to resolving the mystery which has been presented with.
While
the storyline presented in this intriguing and holds the reader’s attention, I
feel parts of it could have been fleshed out somewhat to make it more readable,
and would have provided the abrupt end to the book, which is why I’m giving
this book 4 STARS.
