Why this book isn't as good as the others

Sadly, Elizabeth Peters died without being able to finish this book. Her good friend and fellow writer Joan Hess, with Ms. Peters' blessing, finished it. This is the reason it doesn't seem quite right, but I'd rather have it this way that not at all. Thank you, Joan Hess and Rest in Peace, Elizabeth Peters.

Not the Best in Peter's Series

Typically I like Elizabeth Peter's books. This one seemed to be a mish-mosh of the last few books characters. Didn't like the ending at all. The book still paints excellent pictures of the historical times that the characters live in.
