Pallas Poppies
Blix Windway (yeah that’s her actual name) is off as a travel companion to Egypt, she’s also carrying a book for her uncle that he as promised to a friend.
Crossing the channel, makes her way to Paris, has a car race before getting herself to Egypt, minus her traveling companion but she’s found a new one so no worries. Then she gets into the desert and over to the pyramids and finally she stumbles over a dead body. The local police insist that a native did it and wants the case to just go away, Blix is of an other opinion.
I might be becoming a grumpy old lady but, the MC has a car race through Paris which I assume is fun but all I see is her putting other peoples lives in danger, very little concern for others and I didn’t like it.
The murder happens pretty deep into the book, first in a new series so you do need some space to build it up and present the MC, I get it, but 13 chapters?
Never really warmed up to Blix or her new travel companion. Not getting a proper mystery or sleuthing from this one. Won’t continue the series.
