It is one of my favorite books! If you're a general fiction drama/romance-type of reader, this one should definitely be on your list

THE MURDER OF KING TUT - JAMES PATTERSON & MARTIN DUGARD

MASTER OF SUSPENSE JAMES PATTERSON REOPENS THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE --- THE UNSOLVED DEATH OF KING TUT.

A secret buried for centuries

Thrust onto Egypt's most powerful throne at the age of nine, King Tut was challenged from the first day of his reign. The veil of prosperity could not hide the bitter rivalries and jealousy that flourished among the Boy King's most trusted advisers. Less than a decade after his elavation , King Tut suddenly perished, and in the years and centuries that followed, his name was purged from Egyptian history. To this day, his death remains shrouded in controversy.

The keys to an unsolved mystery

Intrigued by what little was known about Tut, and hoping to unlock the answers to the 3,000 year-old mystery, Howard Carter made it his life's mission to uncover the pharaoh's hidden tomb. He began his search in 1907 but encountered countless setbacks and dead ends before he finally discovered the long-lost crypt.

The clues point to murder

Now, in The Murder of King Tut, James Patterson and Martin Dugard dig through stacks of evidence --- X-rays, Carter's files, forensic clues, and stories told through the ages --- to arrive at their own account of King Tut's life and death. The result is an exhilarating true-crime tale of intrigues, passion, and betrayal that casts fresh light on the oldest mystery of all.

there's a lot of Paulo Coelho books being sold in the streets of recto, manila and i've actually almost bought Like a flowing river pero hindi kasi ako sure if it's a good read, now i guess bibilin ko na sya

and i'm actually collecting Mary Higgins clarks' works ma-hohook ka if you try reading A Cry in the night psycho-thriller sya, parang novel version ng Psycho na film

sabagay. iba iba kasi tayo ng taste so what might be good for me, might not be good for you. but i did enjoy reading Like A Flowing River naman. i hope you enjoy it as well.

ah so psycho thriller sha

i'm not much into it, pero sige after ko basahin yung Forsyth books sakin, i'll try Mary Higgins Clark. i'm into crime-thrillers and spy-thrillers kasi eh. i find them so interesting

thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Marathon reading ako sa series na ito. Each book was long and you have to take notes to remember all the characters.. Pero pinagkahabahaba nya sa huli bitin pa rin sa ganda.. Sayang it was released posthumous. Even Stieg Larsson's death he still dished out a mystery..

Thank you much, I was at Barnes n Noble yesterday and I didn't see your comment until now. Once again, thank you.

Also how about Ford County by Grisham?

Ford County for me is one of his best.. Short stories. Some reminiscent of his Painted House and the Innocent Man yung story line.
